Congratulations on your the victory!    Luka Winner: How did you feel about the match up when you saw it for the first time?   Charles Lee Ray: I felt good about it, our fighters we're evenly match but with different style.   Luka Winner: What are your thoughts on the fight, what was the tactic?   Charles Lee Ray: I believed in my fighter's kicking ability and I'm glad he delivered.   Luka Winner: This was your debut in MMA. What were the expectations before the fight and now after the victory?   Leon Virginie: Basically, there were no expectations for me because I'm relatively unknown, the same thing goes for my opponent and for the match. But after the match, I think I made a statement that I can deliver a one of a kind performance whenever I step on the cage.   Luka Winner: Can you tell us some secrets in your fight preparations? Was there any? What did you train the most?   Leon Virginie: There were no secrets! I trained my cardio to last longer in this fight, ironic it may sound. But I'm sure it will help me in my future fights   Luka Winner: After this awesome victory, what will be your next step? What do you want from this organisation? Is there any fighter you want to fight right now? (Maybe you will get him for the next fight)   Leon Virginie: I made a statement in my debut match, I had a strong start and I'm looking to pick up where I left off. Of course it's any fighters dream to become a champion and that's what I'm pursuing right now. I don't have someone to fight in particular, I'll just let them challenge me or I'll just Tony Martin decide what's best for me.   Luka Winner: Thanks for your time!   Charles Lee Ray:  Sure, no problem!
