Felipe ‘Preguica’ Demonstrates His Favorite Leg Drag to Back Take

 

 

Newly sponsored by market leader STORM KIMONOS, Felipe “Preguiça” Pena  won the Copa PodioMW GP last year, defeating Luiz Panza in the finals. Could Pena be the next big champion in Jiu-Jitsu and rival Buchecha and Rodolfo? He has big ambitions.

Fighting lifestyle UAE caught up with future great:

Now you have accomplished so much in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu? What is next for you?

I just turned 23 and I want a lot more. I want be AbuDhabi and ADCC champion, I want be world champion more times, I believe I can and my biggest dream is be a open class world champion. I want be the best in the world.”
The Sport of Jiu-Jitsu has evolved so much over the years where do you see the sport headed in the future especially with stalling and advantages? Please give your opinion?

Every year the sport changes and I am totaly in favor of rules for not stalling. The fights need to be entertaining for the public, that will just help the sport grow.

What do you prefer Gi jiu-jitsu or NO GI and why ?

I like both but I prefer with gi. I think with gi is more techniqal, nogi sometimes equally differentiates in different levels of bjj players.

You have made a lot of noise in the world of BJJ as a new black belt, what are your plans for the year 2015?

I want keep improving and one day achieve my biggest goal of open weight black belt world champion.
