Vinny ‘Pezao’ Magalhaes , ADDC champion in 2011 , feels relaxed on the eve of defending his title at the biggest tournament in the world of Grappling. Which will happen in China , on Saturday ( 19 th). Great names of Brazilian Jiu – Jitsu will be vying for the top spot of the podium . But indifferent to fierce competition , Vinny said in an interview with tatame ,that he feels no pressure. Pezao won the ADCC title in 2011 after defeating Fabricio Werdum in a historic final . On that occasion , ” Vai Cavalo ” had an armbar locked for more than 2 minutes, but Vinny , incredibly , resisted and ended up winning the fight on points .
“I’m competing in Jiu-Jitsu more for fun. Obviously I want to win , but I have no pressure to win again . Incidentally , I never felt pressure. It is not a joke , it’s a competition , and of course we all want to win , but I ‘m not making any specific training . It is an advantage not to carry that mental stress , because , well , I do not get nervous . In the last ADCC , I won and did not do anything different in practice , unlike the guys who ‘ killed himself ‘ . And it worked for me , “he explained .
