CM: Hello there to everyone tuning in to ICON Interviews; welcome to yet another edition. I am your host Chael Mir and today we will be welcoming our first ever current World Champion. He fights for MMA Helsinki in Finland; he belongs to the ICON Alliance, and he is currently the World Middleweight Champion for MMA Helsinki and he will be defending that title on April 9th against Evgenii Mamchenko. May I present to you; “The Left Elbow of Doom” Hillevi Javri.

CM: Hillevi; you are the champ at the moment at MMA Helsinki; you managed to get to the belt quite quickly in a relatively short MMA career so far; talk to us about your journey upwards and what it means to have that belt and to have already defended it twice?

HJ: Honestly, having the belt is a great feeling, having defending it twice is even better! For the future I’m going to keep defending my belt until some higher ranked organisations are interested in me. I'll be here until then and I will not fall short against anyone.

 

CM: It’s good to know you are confident; so you mentioned higher organisations; obviously MMA Helsinki is incredibly respectable for its large roster and ability to develop younger fighters, what is the organisation you’d be looking to go to if things go your way? Is there a dream organisation which you’d love to be a part of?

HJ: My dream organisation is EVOLUTION.I Have massive respect for Mega Jug and how he's been managing everything. I also have a great amount of respect for Ispa; he is also a very good manager. However I know I still have a hell of a lot of work to do before any of those elite organisations consider me. But we will have to see what happens next.

 

CM: They certainly do have a good thing going down there; a very popular location for super fights; Evolution certainly seems like the place to go if you want to fight the best of the best. Let’s talk about your next fight; you are defending your belt for the third time against “Baby” Mamchenko. Obviously he is a dangerous fighter; very skilled on the ground. However; you fought him before not too long ago; you shut his game down completely; has it been hard to motivate yourself for this fight?

HJ: I Have to admit, I have a lot of respect for Evgenii. But I am looking to have the same outcome as the last fight, if possible I'll even try to knock him out. Motivating myself for this fight was pretty easy. My fight camp is also great. I'm training on a new skill that Evgenii will have to look out for. It'll be worse than my razor elbows.

 

CM: He has his weapons as an opponent; so what do you think he will try to do differently this time; if anything, to avoid exactly the same outcome again?

HJ: I Feel like he will be doing the same thing last time, only thing is that he'll probably mix in some more punches.

 

CM: So as far as the middleweight division in MMA Helsinki; is there anyone in there that presents an interesting challenge to you or who you would like to defend the belt against after Evgenii?

HF: Kenny Ramsey seems to be in good form, I’d also say the same For Monty Orellana. I'd like to have a match with them and break their winning streaks.

 

CM: You have made a career out of ending winning streaks; have you ever thought about making that part of your nickname?

HJ: I've been thinking about making that as a part of my nickname, but I am not exactly sure about that yet. I'll have to see what my manager has to say.

 

CM: We’re gonna wrap this up; just a couple more questions; out of the top fighters in the world at the moment; is there any one guy that you look up to? Anybody that you can see yourself emulating at all?

HJ: The person I look up to is Jameson Connamera and Donny Donnowitz. These two are an absolute legend and I hope I can become like them soon.
Thank you for having me for this interview. It was a true pleasure to be here.

 

CM: Ok; one last question can we get a prediction for 9th April from you? What’s the outcome of the fight and what round will it be?

HJ: I'm not the type to predict what round I might win in. But since you asked, I will make it a 4th round TKO via my new technique.

 

CM: Well we look very much forward to the fight and seeing the new technique; Hillevi, it’s been awesome to have you here on ICON Interviews my friend; good luck with the fight, and I’m sure next time we see you you’ll still have the belt.

HJ: Thank you for having me. It was a true pleasure to be here.

 

 

CM: Well that does it for this edition of ICON Interviews ladies and gentleman; remember to tune into MMA Helsinki 30 on the 9th April to see Hillevi Javri defend his Middleweight Championship against Evgenii Mamchenko at Hayashi’s lounge at 6pm Finland time; 4pm London time; 8am in the morning in Los Angeles; and 9am in Las Vegas.
