Interview with Biniyam Shibre below
Biniyam Shibre (2-0 AM) discusses his featherweight fight against Anthony Sipe (1-2 AM) at 559 Fights on Oct. 21. Biniyam also spoke about g with Iridium Sports for representation, moving to Las Vegas to train at Syndicate MMA, and how Conor McGregor piqued his interest in the sport.
“Conor McGregor. That’s (who) I watched. He’s very active, his standup (is impressive). He makes me more interested in MMA. He makes me excited (to peruse MMA as a career) because I’m a world champion in Brazil. I get three gold (medals). I feel like I’m a world champion in Taekwondo and Kickboxing. But when I do jiu-jitsu, like MMA fighting, I feel like zero. Because when I roll, they choke me out. Because I don’t know anything about rolling or jiu-jitsu. But now I get it.”
Shibre and his partner, Ariela Weinberg, are also part of the current and ninth season of 90 Day Fiancé.
