Rafa on the World Pro Cup

Read the mini-interview with GracieMag and Rafa Mendes here.

What lessons have you derived from this first stage of the World Pro, following your good run in the No-Gi absolute division?

Once again I could see that I can trust my Jiu-Jitsu. As well as have faith in my training and even my self. I proved once again how Jiu-Jitsu techniques are efficient, and I saw how when you’re well trained you can fight anybody, regardless of strength or size. I entered to test myself, and – who knows? – maybe even win. I was seeking a challenge like this one; I knew I could do it and, thank God, I fought well.
