<p>by Victor Freitas</p>
<p>A Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Royler Gracie, Cristiano Marcello is forging ahead with his preparations for UFC Rio, where he locks horns with Sweden’s Reda Madadi in the card opener.</p>
<p>Cristiano was part of the cast for the 15th season of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality show, on which he suffered a knockout in his second fight, at the hands of Sam Sicilia last February. But the setback hasn’t cost him any enthusiasm for his impending battle in his “own backyard”.</p>
<p>Speaking with GRACIEMAG.com, he analyzed his opponent:</p>
<p>“First of all, I don’t think much of the guy. We had a rift at an event in Europe. I got in the ring with him to set up a fight and he disrespected me. Now I do have to admit he has his qualities as a fighter. He has solid wrestling and can keep up the pace from start to finish. My strategy is to work on every facet of the game so I don’t get caught by any surprises,” the black belt formerly on the Pride FC roster said.</p>
<p>“I have a four-fight contract but what’s important to me is that I get the win. I’ll be fighting at home. Although I’ve been living in Curitiba for the last 11 years, I have my family, friends and my eternal Gracie Humaitá academy there by my side in Rio. That will give me strength in the fight. I like remembering how I’ve fought at all the biggest events on the planet. Now, I’m ready to carve out my place in the UFC,” he said.</p>
<p>The UFC Rio card went through a major facelift due to injuries, a subject Cristiano addressed during the conversation.</p>
<p>“These days, you fight every three months, so you have to keep up the rhythm the whole time, which drastically increases the risk of injury, if you don’t watch out. That’s why I’m always doing preventive physiotherapy with a massage therapist and taking lots of ice baths and rest. You have to feel when your body is asking you to take a break,” he explained.</p>
<p>Initially on the card for the UFC show on the coming 13th, Erik Koch and Quinton Jackson had to withdraw from the card due to injury. And José Aldo, scheduled to fight opposite Koch in the main event, hurt his foot in a motorcycle accident and pulled out of the event too.</p>

<p>Faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu formado por Royler Gracie, a fera Cristiano Marcello segue nos seus preparativos para o UFC Rio, onde enfrenta o sueco Reza Madadi na luta que abre uma noite que promete para os fãs cariocas e brasileiros.</p>
<p>Cristiano participou em fevereiro deste ano do reality show &#8220;The Ultimate Fighther 15&#8221;, e acabou sofrendo um nocaute no seu segundo combate, contra Sam Sicilia. Nada disso tira o brilho dos olhos do atleta para este compromisso no &#8220;quintal de casa&#8221;.</p>
<p>Em papo com o GRACIEMAG.com, ele analisou a luta e seu oponente:</p>
<p>“Primeiro de tudo, eu não acho ele um cara legal, já tivemos uma desavença num evento na Europa. Subi no ringue com ele para marcarmos uma luta e ele me desrespeitou. Agora, é preciso admitir que ele tem pontos muito fortes como lutador. Dono de um wrestling afiado, ele também consegue manter o mesmo ritmo de luta do começo ao fim. Minha estratégia está sendo treinar em todos os quesitos para não ser surpreendido na hora”, disse o faixa-preta ex-atleta do Pride.</p>
<p>“Tenho um contrato de quatro lutas, mas para mim é muito importante que eu saia com a vitória. É lutar em casa. Apesar de estar radicado em Curitiba há 11 anos, tenho minha família, amigos e minha eterna academia Gracie Humaitá que está sempre ao meu lado aí no Rio. Isso vai me dar forças para a luta. Gosto de lembrar que já lutei em todos os grandes eventos do planeta, estou pronto para me firmar no UFC”, disse.</p>
<p>O card do UFC Rio foi severamente modificado por conta de lesões, e Cristiano Marcello falou sobre o tema.</p>
<p>“Hoje você faz uma luta de três em três meses, então você tem de se manter treinando o tempo todo e isso aumenta drasticamente o risco de lesão, se você não se cuidar. Por isso me preocupo em sempre fazer uma fisioterapia de prevenção com um massoterapeuta, muita banheira de gelo e descanso. É preciso saber sentir o seu corpo quando ele está pedindo descanso”, ensina.</p>
<p>Inicialmente escalados para o UFC do dia 13, Erik Koch e Quinton Jackson foram afastados do card por contusão. Astro principal da noite, José Aldo também machucou o pé num acidente de trânsito e desfalcou o evento.</p>
