\"Roberto<\/p>\n

Zedekiah Montanez:<\/strong><\/p>\n

How\u2019d you feel winning the fight of the year award?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It feels amazing to get the notoriety after a long layoff. I have a champion spirit and I will continue to overcome my opposition in and out of the cage.<\/p>\n

Did you have any injuries after the fight or did you train or take a break?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No injuries. Thank God. Soreness of course because we are in a gladiator sport that takes a lot mental, physical and emotional stress as fighters, so yes, a break is always necessary to asses and go on with the next. I was back into training two weeks after the fight.<\/p>\n

How do you see the rematch conclude?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can see us in the big tournament winning fights and eventually crosses paths again putting on a show for the world to see inside an arena.<\/p>\n

What was the fan reaction?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My supporters were disappointed, but proud. I was two years off without no footage on my opponent. I had six different opponents\u2019 that I had set my game plan for. Romero was announced about three weeks or less not to mention fought back-to-back that year. He was the younger, fresher man to win that fight. I have a champion spirit once again.<\/p>\n

\"Roberto
\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Roberto Romero Hernandez:<\/strong><\/p>\n

How\u2019d you feel winning the fight of the year award?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I took a lot of hits to the body but thank God nothing serious.<\/p>\n

What did you learn from the fight?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I learned to lookout for better options and take advantage of the opportunities that were present. I am currently working on changing and improve my style.<\/p>\n

Did you have any injuries after the fight, or did you train or take a break?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I received support from my fans, family, brothers, and other people I hope to deliver lots of emotions in the next fights.<\/p>\n

How do you see the rematch conclude?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am ready for a rematch if Zed and Combate want to. I love to fight. I can\u2019t say no to a fight.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
