Robson Moura Interview (by AJ Scales)
A.J.: So how did it feel to fight in the World Championships again?
RM: I was very excited; I haven’t fought in the CBJJ since 2001 I was very happy. And then I fought in CBJJO in 2002. When I stopped fighting in the kimono I focused allot on MMA. I then moved to the US and started to compete again. I did a Super fight with Jeff Glover at the LA X Submission event and competed in Grappler Quest.

A.J.: How did you prepare for this year Mundial?
RM: I went to Arizona and trained with Gustavo Dantas. I trained allot with his students, Steve and Jake also Gustavo. We had two training sessions per day for about two and half weeks.

A.J.: Do you have any new goals now that you’re a 7 time World Champion?
RM: Yes, I want to be a Ten Time World Champion. (big smile on his face)

A.J.: So how long have you been in the United States?
RM: Just over two years now.

A.J.: Where is your school located?
RM:I started a school in Newark, Delaware and have about 50, 55 guys. I’m very happy the way the school is going. www.elitejuijitsu.com

A.J.: So have you been doing allot of Seminars?
RM:Yes, I did a Seminar at Gustavo Dantas Academy one in Florida and now I’m here in Canada at A.J Scales Academy. www.completemma.ca

A.J.: When will we see you on the mat again?
RM: I will compete in the 10th Arizona Grappling Challenge hosted by Gustavo Dantas on October 10th. I will do a Super Fight with one of Marc Laimon’s students, Sim Go. This kid is the North American Abu Dhabi Trial winner, so it should be fun.

A.J.: Why didn't you get an invite to this year Abu Dhabi Championships?
RM: That’s a good question. I fought in Grappler Quest and finished all my opponents under two minutes. Brian Cimmins tried to help me out and put a good word in for me. Man I fought Abu Dhabi in 2001 and lost in the semi final to Royler Gracie. I have a good resume so I’m not sure why I was not invited. Nova União has some of the best guys at 145, 155 and 170 we have many good guys.

A.J.: So do you have any advice for someone that would like to become a world champion?
RM: Train hard and believe in your self because anyone can do it.

A.J.: Do you have any last comments?
RM: Yes, Nova União is coming to California!!!
