Sebastian revealed the great new to Jiu-Jitsu Style magazine, that he would be representing Europe together with Denmark’s Alexander Trans at an upcoming Copa Podio:
“I got the message this morning. Was it a surprise? Oh yeah. Well, I would say about 95Rea% a surprise because a few weeks ago the Copa Podio asked which of the following Vikings were your favourite Scandinavian fighters and it was Alexander Trans, two others and me. I just wrote ‘I’m not a Viking, I’m just a weak, vegan, yoga guy’ and it got a lot of likes and was at the top, so maybe the recognised me over the others.
“I got the email this morning asking me of my minimum and maximum weight. Although I didn’t receive any dates, but I’m very excited to see when and where I will fight in the Copa Podio. I was asked if I was interested and I said “Count on me.”
“You know, a venue like Copa Podio is all about the people watching, the crowd and I give my best when I get invited to things like that. I got invited to Toukon Challenge last year and I didn’t mind about winning at all, it was about pleasing the crowd and giving them action. I think that’s a reason why they would invite me because I don’t try to go for the win in the most boring way, but I like to take a lot of chances and have a lot of scrambles and that’s always fun to watch.
“When you get invited to one of the biggest tournaments in the world, you have enough pressure as it is. If you put pressure on yourself and you expect to win then you are setting yourself up for a minimum, less than perfect performance. I want to perform and I don’t perform well when I put pressure on myself so as little pressure as possible.”
