Marcus Buchecha Almeida tests skills against Kang Ji Won on December 3rd at ONE: Winter Warriors. This high-stakes heavyweight bout goes down at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
I spoke with Buchecha ahead of this contest and we touched on several subjects such as: -Having his druthers in getting a quick bout turnaround for early December in the Circle
-The assessment of his debut MMA performance overall
-Buchecha's first time utilizing strikes in a competitive combat context
-Some of the adjustments in training to prepare for fighting under the global ruleset
-His avid training partner being Antonio Carlos Jr and Shoeface's recent PFL championship win
-The feelings competing on cards with fellow Evolve MMA fighters like Christian Lee last time. As he readies to share a space on this upcoming event with Ritu Phogat
-Work at American Top Team with some heavyweight bodies like Marcelo Golm
-Being on many magazine covers as a jiu-jitsu player and his recent first magazine cover as an MMA fighter
-If there was ever compounded pressure or big expectations coming in from BJJ into MMA
-Buchecha usurping Roger Gracie's Guinness record and if Almeida has ever picked the former ONE Championship titleholder's brain on nuances within the jiu-jitsu to mixed martial arts crossover
-Thoughts on the main stylistic proclivities of upcoming opponent Kang Ji Won
-The Kang Ji Won bout being previously canceled and if there's any game-planning utility to that rescheduling
-If this upcoming contest with Kang Ji Won could be a title eliminator
-Thoughts on American Top Team being so featured on AEW and the idea of getting into pro wrestling himself
