Slovák je připraven šokovat UFC. Políčeno má i na obrovskou bitvu

Rozjetý Klein za oceán odletěl již minulou sobotu, aby si především zvykl na tamní podmínky a také zažil tradiční zápasový fight week, v rámci nějž podstupuje celou řadu rozhovorů a také tiskových konferencí. V dohledné době jej bude čekat i oficiální vážení, které by nemělo přinést žádné komplikace.

Jenomže v městě hazardu ho žádná procházka růžovou zahradou nečeká. Společně s Gamrotem navíc utvoří hlavní předzápas turnaje, čímž se dostali pod větší radar pozornosti. „Gamrot je pro mě velká výzva, nejtěžší zápas v kariéře. Já jsem ale dobře připravený,“ ujišťuje se Klein, jenž krátce před kláním podepsal v UFC novou vylepšenou smlouvu, jež se podepíše i na jeho finančním ohodnocení.

„Gamrot je dobrý bojovník, předvádí skvělé výkony na zemi, ale nesmíme zapomenout ani na jeho postoj. Já mám v hlavě ale jasno. Chci zvítězit a být tím prvním, kdo Mateusze knokautuje,“ vyžívá se v představách jeden ze dvou slovenských bijců v zámoří.

Klein už v nedávném rozhovoru pro Sport.cz prozradil, že soubojem proti lépe postavenému soupeři nemá moc co ztratit. Pokud by ale z pozice papírového outsidera uspěl, rázem by raketově vyletěl. „Konečně můžu tímto zápasem všem ukázat, čeho jsem schopen,“ řekl Klein, který drží už sedmizápasovou sérii bez porážky. V UFC přesto není tak známým jménem jako ostatní konkurenti v lehké váze.

„Na tuhle příležitost jsem čekal dlouhou dobu a jsem nadšený a připravený celému světu ukázat, že si zasloužím být v nejlepší patnáctce či desítce. Někteří lidi si to myslí už teď, ale po zápase to bude vědět už každý,“ rozesmál se někdejší bojovník domácího Oktagonu.

Ani Gamrot, jeden z nejlepších polských bijců současnosti, nečeká nic jednoduchého. „V UFC je nejdůležitější předvádět dobré výkony a nezáleží přitom na tom, jestli jdete proti lépe či hůře postavenému bojovníkovi. Pokud tohohle kluka porazím, posunu se vpřed. Tohle je zkrátka můj způsob myšlení a cesta mojí fantastickou kariérou,“ pokrčil rameny bývalý šampion polské KSW.

Klein tak má před sebou obrovskou příležitost. Pokud v Las Vegas zažije vítězný večer, připíše si největší zářez kariéry a rázem kolem sebe bude mít ještě slavnější jména. „Až porazím Mateusze, tak si myslím, že budu jeden nebo dva zápasy od titulu,“ vypálil a uvedl jména soupeřů, jež by ho do budoucna lákala.

„Už jsem to zmiňoval několikrát, ale chtěl bych zápasit s Paddym Pimblettem. Kam ale ve skutečnosti mířím, to je na Iliu Topuriu,“ zmínil Slovák neporaženého gruzínsko-španělského bojovníka, jenž se po kralování v pérové váze vydal právě do lehké divize, kde jej hned (28. června, UFC 317) čeká ostře sledovaná titulová bitva proti Brazilci Charlesu Oliveirovi.

Myšlenky přesto směřují na víkendovou bitvu. Až poté bude Klein řešit další kroky. „Cítím velkou zodpovědnost, protože na tenhle moment jsem dřel celý život. Tohle je něco, co jsem si vždycky přál,“ dodal slovenský bijec, jenž je před turnajem v zámoří jedním z největších taháků.
