I'm more interested in the co-main
That fight should b dope too. Marlon is coming off a win over Soo Chul Kim though and is fighting for the belt so outside of being personally behind Brimage the title fight is more interesting on paper...
Brimage VS Marlon (provided Marlon wins) will be a great title defense. I don't know much about Brimage other than I like him and enjoyed his fights I've seen.
The reason why I am behind Marlon is I am personally invested - I know him personally and have been shooting a documentary about his social project so know what a win for him will mean for the kids that go there and the entire community.
Here is an exclusive exert from the documentary:
We asked him about his legacy - this is the end of his reply after talking passionately about being able to afford an education for his kids and provide them with something he was uanble to have when growing up
"the greatest achievement I ever had was that thing I told you: my students to be fighting in the biggest events in the world... And, sure, for me it was very good to be the champion of Pancrase, to be the champion of Sengoko, it was wonderful. And I intend to be the champion of ROad FC, which is this event I've been fighting nowadays in Korea. And if God permits, [I want] to fight again for the Pancrase belt. For me that will be wonderful, to be the champion of all those events is going to be very nice."
We asked him whether he wanted to finish his career in the UFC:
"Yeah, I think is not a possibility for me anymore because of my age and also because a lot of my friends here at the gym fight there - I think nowadays they are about 3 or 4 in the same category. Also, there's Jose Aldo, who's the champion... (this is two weeks before Aldo V Conor) so I think this is something that's a little far from my reality. But actually I dont even think about that, I'm still fighting, I have contracts with many events, I think I still have a lot of energy to burn... I feel very good, nowadays I have better orientation... So, for now I'm not thinking about it. I think that in the end of everything it would be nice to have a fight here in Brazil (in the UFC) for my fans... I don't really know... I'm gonna let it flow..."
