Leonardo "Voodoo Child" Ferreira, Q + A




Leonardo Ferreira is a man on a mission. After losing his chance at Olympic gold in a close fight with Rocky Tyson, he finds himself back at EVO welcoming newcomer Thor Skarsgard, a man who is known for his KO power. Leo himself is known for a deadly MT attack and the power he carries in his fists and feet. After switching managers, he has gone 5-1 under Dean Sutherland, a world renowned manager who brings the best out of his fighters. I had the chance to sit down with him and ask him a few questions about his upcoming fight and his future.




Reporter - You came so close to winning the Gold medal at the Winter Olympics, eventually losing a back and forth war with Rocky Tyson. Are you a man set on redemption, to prove you are the best heavyweight around?



Leo – I wouldn’t mind another shot at Rocky. I am a big believer in you have to beat the man to be the man, Brick was the man and I kicked his ass, Rocky in turn kicked my ass, so now I guess you could say I want another shot at Rocky but chances are my stable mate Hamish is gonna tool him first.




Reporter - After leaving Mannetosen’s management, many wondered where you would end up. You ended up in the hands of elite manager Dean Sutherland. How do you feel being in his roster has benefited you?



Leo – I was gutted that Tosen decided to up and leave, so I convinced Dean to come back and take in some of his roster. A lot of his roster was scared they could end up at inferior alliances such as BHP, so we took a poll and most of the talented fighters ended up going with Dean. As far as benefits, not much different from Mannetosen’s style, he lets us do our own thing and we go out and rack up the wins.




Reporter - You are a fighter known for his relentless attack on the feet combined with KO power you make for a dangerous man for anyone. Where do you feel you can beat Skarsgard?



Leo - At scrabble, I happen to know he cannot pronounce or spell words with over six letters, after I am through with him he will be lucky to spell words with over four letters.




Reporter - Before leaving for the Winter Olympics, you had a 4 fight winning streak in EVO. Do you feel that with a win over Skargard you will be getting the next shot at Rinky Spider, a man whom has bested you once before for the title?



Leo - Meh, I couldn’t care less about Rinky to be honest nor any of Bowsers stable. I am 2-1 up against him personally and Dean is 2-1 up against him also. We have nothing left to prove.




Reporter - If a rematch with Rinky was to happen, are you now confident you has what it takes to beat him? After all you beat his stable-mate Brick Tires in convincing fashion. Are you out for Rinky’s blood?



Leo – As before I ain’t interested in fighting Rinky, Brick or anyone else in Bowsers stable. I have my eyes set on Rocky Tyson; he was an awesome competitor and have nothing but love for the man after the war we produced in the Olympics. This time I have a feeling he will be out cold.



Reporter - You have a burning desire to seek revenge on Rocky Tyson. Do you feel EVO will be able to bring him over for a rematch with yourself, or will you have to hunt him down and go to CEC?



Leo – Either or, Gus and Jug are both good friends of mine and I know both of them can come to an agreement if needs be, shit if it comes down to it I only have two fights left on my contract. I can kick ass twice and go to CEC to force the issue.




7 – Thank you for your time, is there anything else you would like to add?



Leo - If you clinch me; I’ll submit you. If you stand up and fight; I’ll knock you out. Do us all a favour and just miss your jet flight. It will save you a lot of grief and brain damage, this is the big leagues.






There you have it folks, the man wants to fight the man who bested him at the Olympics, Rocky Tyson. Be sure to check out Leo's fight on the 7th of February against Thor Skarsgard, his interview is coming soon!. Who do you feel will win the fight?

“Hammer of the Gods” Thor Skarsgard, Q + A




Not tasting defeat in 10 fights, the majority of opponents set to face Skarsgard end up knocked out, just as capable of kicking your head off as he is at punching from all angles; Skarsgard is a dangerous foe for most. Facing him will be Leonardo Ferreira a fighter who has constantly fought elite heavyweight fighters, something that the Skarsgard detractors say he has not fought the best fighters possible. Now he finds himself in EVO the home of some of the best fighters in MMA today, Skarsgard has a point to prove that he can knock out anyone at any time. I caught up with him earlier today for a quick chat about his feelings for signing with EVO and his upcoming fight, possibly a title eliminator.





Reporter - You are making your EVO debut after coming over as champion from CONFLICTION MMA. Do you feel there is any added pressure for you to perform to a high standard?



I feel no pressure. I am from a land where ice is in our blood.




Reporter - You aren’t being given any warm up fights for EVO, being thrown right into the fire again Leonardo Ferreira. Where do you feel you can win this fight?



Battle is a way of life where I am from, my ancestors did it with axes and I do so with my fists. I will march forward this fight and I will fight like a true warrior.




Reporter - You have had a few different managers in your career, but it seems Eddie has brought out the best fighter in you. How important for you as a fighter was it that you moved over to Eddie Roach’s management?



Roach is a man of few words but he has a very deep understanding of the fight game. The difference is the ability to pinpoint my opponents flaws and provide a way to exploit that weakness. This is the reason I am in EVO today.




Reporter - At the ripe old age of 35, you have held many titles for many different orgs. Now you find yourself at arguably the best org around, do you see that if you win this fight you will be next in line for a title shot against the formidable Rinky Spider?




I do not believe in age, I believe in power. The power is still there. I believe Ferreira is the #1 contender so I believe after I come away with a victorious I will earn my title shot and continue my reign.




Reporter - You have finished all but one of your victories via KO or TKO. Are you confident that you can KO any heavyweight out there?



I am a warrior, I march forward and look to end the fight, and I do not fear going out on my shield. This is the reason I can KO any man that steps into the cage with me, contender or champion.




Reporter - Thank you for your time, is there anything else you would like to add?



I would like to thank my coaches, my team, my training partners, my family, and my friends back home. Also to my fans, thank you for the support.





A man of few words, a man who prefers to let his fists to the talking and sign his paychecks for him. Do you think he can overcome the obstacle in front of him that is Leo Ferreira?

After Brick Tires interview in the Syn magazine we had to grab a comment or two from Leo Ferreria

 

 

Reporter - So Leo, Brick Tires has called you scared of him in a recent interview, do you have any comments about that?

 

Leo - I do funnily enough i read the full interview. He came out more aggressive than i did, he threw almost as many shots as i did and he started to gas at the end of the first round. Now consider this, in the second round i threw 12 strikes compared to his 3 strikes. This means in the first round he threw 47 strikes compared to my 40 strikes. That would mean he was the more aggressive fighter and to quote Brick himself that would make him scared, wouldn't it?

 

Reporter - He also said that your name doesn't mean anything to him, how does that make you feel?

 

Leo - It clearly does lets be honest, he expected to come in land a few big shots and put me to sleep; it didn't work. Our gameplan was clearly superior to his, and you can tell it hurts him deep down inside. His manager being the Convicted Killer an all you would expect more from him.

 

Reporter - Now you have handed me this quote

"photo-thumb-56002.jpg?_r=1358521106 Posted by Bowser on 11 January 2014 - 10:31 PM

People like minark and this keppelrun douche are the reason many people dont use the forums. Add me to the list of ppl that will turn down any fight ever offered with either of their fighters"

 

Reporter - Why?

 

Leo - I just thought i would show what the manager of the year said at the beginning of last year, you know me i like my quotes.

 

Reporter - So if you win will Brick Tires get his rematch against yourself?

 

Leo - Nope, 2-1 baby.

haha I smell fear dinoo. The real score is something in the range of 10-2 in favour of me over Convicted.

 

Just to point out to you, since the quote you used I have beaten the following Convicted fighters:

Pluto x2, Magneto, Ferrirea, Hess, Proudstar x2, Creel, Kable, Narushima

 

That's just off the top of my head.

And Convicted has what 2 wins over me as an entire alliance whole since Mid Jan 2014?

Nothing in particular to fear, we fought, i kicked your ass/got lucky depending on which side of the table you are sitting at.

 

Whenever you and me go toe to toe the scoreline reads 2-1, i ain't a fan of all this team sports malarkey, you maybe the Convicted Killer but i believe i am 17-3-2 against BHP including 2-1 against you. That would make me the BHP killer then i suppose?

Put your money where your mouth is. Let's put our best fighters vs each other best to 10. I take it 8-2 or better I guarantee it.

 

I know you'll hide from the call out and try to sit on your 2-1 all time record.

 

You had a 30K ID advantage on me in the first win when my fighter was like 20. Other than that it's a 1-1 record since my fighters developed.

I would, but the fact you don't have 10 decent fighters makes me feel uneasy about the next excuse you would make up after i hammer you.

 

So a 24 year old Sens, Elite Sens Brown vs an Elite, Sens, Sens Brown is unfair? See what i mean about excuses? Roman hit the skill cap at 24 on my roster, David was no where near that when i retired him.

 

I still count Scott kicking my ass in the EPL despite me being horribly outmatched and injured as a loss, you just seem to look for an excuse after you lose.

If you think you're getting off the hook that easy by saying I don't have enough fighters to fight you, let's do 7 fights. My point is, you won't accept and you'll find a reason not to accept.

 

I'd go project vs project as well to round it out if that gives you a glimer of hope.

That would be 9 fights, it would prolly be Hamish at 265.

 

Guessing for the 10th we can do Boyko Kersikov vs Meth

 

Other than that i am cool with the rest of the match ups.
