In a recent interview with Jerry Tsui of JiuJitsutimes, Nicolini talked about her move and how she will also compete at this weekend’s Pan BJJ Championships:

 

JJT: You could have trained at any gym or camp in the world. How did you choose Evolve MMA in Singapore?

Michelle Nicolini: That is absolutely true; I could have trained at any gym or camp in the world. However, I have always heard amazing things about Evolve MMA and how they are the #1 in Asia. At this point of my life, I knew that this was the place I wanted to visit and train at. I wanted to experience training alongside the Evolve Fight Team and Evolve Instructor Team to understand how they manage to reach such a World Championship level.

JJT: How long will you be training out at Evolve and will it be your home gym for MMA moving forward?

Michelle Nicolini: This time I came to train here for only a week. It was a super productive experience for me and I am really looking forward to moving to Singapore and working on my striking and MMA game with all the high-leveled fighters and instructors.

JJT: You have basically won every major event in BJJ. What are your future martial arts goals?

Michelle Nicolini: I feel that I have achieved all that I have set my sights on in the world of BJJ. I love the sport and it will always be in my heart. My next goal is to win the Worlds again this year and then aim to be a MMA World Champion!
