Johan Estupinan Post Fight Interview Quotes:

Do you feel this win tonight has turned you into a star?

I would say, yes, I came here to make hearts happy. I came here to give you my best, to give the fans a show, a great, great show in this great company. So yeah, I think I’m a star.

How much fun do you have while fighting?

I had much fun doing this. In fact, my brother and I used to spar to decompress and have some fun. And then we ended up fighting for real, but I love this. I love fighting. This is fun. I find it fun.

Did El Jamari hurt you in that first round?

I felt it. Of course, I felt it. It wasn’t that hard. I think my brother punches me harder. My brother can hurt me. He has heavy hands, but like, if I had, I don’t know, one more minute, I could have finished the fight in the first round. I felt it, but I was not hurt.

You’re 22 years old, how close are you to your prime?

I get better and better with every single fight. I train really hard, and to be honest, this is just going to be pretty amazing when my brother joins me, and together, we are going to be the biggest show this company will have.

Do you feel you’re the face of Colombian martial arts?

Of course I’m the face of martial arts in Colombia, all the things I’m doing here against top fighters, because the fighters I face are the best fighters in the world. So if I’m doing this to them, of course, I’m the face of martial arts in Colombia. I work very hard for this, and I’ve proven it.

Do you feel like you’re getting closer to the championship?

I think so I’m working towards the championship. If it is not next time, I will get there, I will be a champion. I will be fighting for the championship soon. To be honest, I never rest. Tomorrow, when I get home, the first thing I’m going to do is train.

How would a fight between you and Rodtang go?

It would be amazing, because he’s just like me. He’s hungry just like me, but I’m hungrier. So I think it’s going to be amazing, and I will be victorious. And whenever you need ‘Panda Kick’, ‘Panda Kick’ is ready.
