あの選手とも対面！ベガスの堀口恭司から試合直前の様子をお届けします🇺🇸

Hello, this is Kyoji Horiguchi. I’m heading to Las Vegas to second Nakamura Rinya. This is my first time in Vegas since I seconded KID. And I’m heading with this guy. Ta-da. It’s been a long, long flight, and I’m going to be Tomoya’s second. I’m off. Yes. I finally arrived in Las Vegas. Mike’s already playing. Yes. Nice! There are slots everywhere already. Yes. Yes. I met Nakamura Rinya. Is it YouTube? How are you doing? Thank you Kyoji. Yes, I’m perfect. I’m only 5kg away from weight. When I woke up this morning, I felt like I had 5kg to go. No problem. No problem. Yes. I’m staying here tonight. Well , today, or rather, a week. Today is three days before the fight. So, starting tomorrow, I’ll start losing water. Yeah. I’ll have to lose water. I see. How are you feeling? I’m drinking 8L of water right now, and my stomach is all bloated. Well, I can’t drink anymore from tomorrow. Yes. That’s right. Tomorrow, I’ll drain the water and eat only a little bit of solid food. Yes. That’s right. I’ll just eat a little at a time. How many more kilos? I was at 4.5kg this morning, so I just need to lose another 4kg over the course of the day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I’ll have no problem with that. I wonder what my enthusiasm for the match should be. Well, I guess I’ll take a picture here just in case. I’ll take a picture of my enthusiasm for the match too. I’ve been at ATT since mid-April, and I think I’ve done everything I can. I feel like I’ve grown, and there are still areas I want to improve on, but for now, I’m going to explode with my full potential and go for the win. Hey! Good luck with the weight loss. I’ll do my best. Yes. So, what do you think? Las Vegas , well, it’s really confusing. We got on a plane, you know? The plane flies. Then, we made some stops along the way, and the others got off in Indiana, and we stayed on and waited there for about 30 minutes, and then people got on and we were off again. You don’t see that in Japan, do you? The flight attendant tells you to stay here? Yes . And wait in your seat. Eh? It’s fine because you don’t have to change trains, but the wait was long. It was long, about seven hours. Vegas feels like you’ve come to the city. Ah, I can feel that. That’s right. So you had heart. Yeah. What do you think? The view from the room is of the parking lot. A multi-story parking garage. A beautiful multi-story parking garage. Amazing. Kyoji. That’s right. This is your first time coming to a UFC event since your return, isn’t it? The first time you came, you were KID’s second, and the second time you were Rinya’s second . So this is your second time being a second at UFC. At UFC, anyway. First of all, how is Rinya? It’s fine, isn’t it? He said that since moving to ATT, he learned how to prepare and lose weight for the first time, and it really gave him a lot of confidence. I also felt the importance of teamwork even more after coming here from Japan and having Mike’s support. I think that’s something Rinya feels, too. It’s martial arts, so you have the image of fighting alone, but it feels like we’re all fighting together. We all cut weight together, so it feels like we’re all doing it together. This fight was when we really started working as Team ATT. Up until the last fight, I’d come to practice, but for the fight, I’d go with the Japanese team. But now, it feels like we’re fully Team ATT. You saw it in the video, but you trained at the UFC gym, and Kyoji was your training partner there. We’re training partners, and I don’t know why, but Rinya feels calm and reassured when I’m there, so I think that’s a big part of why he brought me. He’s still a bit wary of Mike. I don’t worry about him at all anymore. By the way, Kyoji, I think you saw the filming. What did you think? It ‘s been a while since I’ve been to the UFC, and it’s probably completely different from when I was there ! I didn’t communicate that much before. I couldn’t speak English back then. But now I can even say hello casually. By the way, I’m sure you’re all wondering, have you met Tatsuro Taira? Not really a conversation, just a hello. Well, he was also cutting a lot of weight, so it was probably when he was at his toughest. There was a photo on UFC Japan’s Instagram of Kyoji watching a shoot between Taira and Rinya Were you able to say hello there? Yes, yes, that’s right. Taira is the main fight this time. How are you looking at the fight? Well, I guess I thought we might face each other, so I thought I’d watch it as a way to do some research. But most importantly, I want to beat Rinya. Yeah. Yeah. I heard about your meeting with Taira from someone at UFC. Yeah. They asked me to tell them that you were shy because you thought, “This is the world-famous Kyoji!” I don’t get that lol. I’m not sure if Taira himself said it or not, but I think it’s probably not. But I feel the same way. That’s what someone involved said. They said that Kyoji when he was at UFC and Kyoji now seem like different people. Well, I don’t like interacting with people in general, right? That’s true. Yeah. It was even more like that back then. There’s a huge wall. Kyoji doesn’t have any walls, really. No, there are. There are. There are thick, invisible walls. That’s why they were really surprised. He told me that when he came back to UFC, he was surprised at how open he was. No, he’s basically open. No, he’s definitely changed. Kyoji. He’s grateful for the support of Japanese fans, so I think that’s what changed him, right? Yeah. I think so. I think it’s definitely the experiences of interacting with so many fans in Japan that have changed Kyoji over the past few years. Yeah. I guess that’s what happened. Yes. But I wonder if Taira felt a wall between them, lol. Eh , to me? No, no, I said hello properly. I always say hello to everyone. Like, “Oh, thanks!” Well, I think the fans would be happy just to hear about the contact scene between the two of them, so yeah. Thank you. I hope you ‘ll watch this video and then the match, and the video ends before the match , but I’d also like to hear what you thought of the UFC match. Yes . Please continue to do your best in your work as a second. Yes . So, everyone, please support Rinya. This is UFC Vegas 108. Please support everyone. I’m going to stop saying “see you later” today. Why? Absolutely not. Please do it. So , do a new version of “see you later!” Please do it Vegas style. Pine pine pine pine pine. Let’s try not saying “see you later!” for a bit, so that it feels like “I finally did it!” (Why?) See you later! (Are you going to do it?) Yes. Rinya is cutting weight for the last time. Yes. 3 pounds left. How are you feeling? I’m in great shape now. Whenever I look serious, Kyoji makes me laugh lol. Listening to his advice, I discover something new and it’s great! Well then, do your best. Yes. I’ll do my best!
