Colin George: ’Next time I meet Brestovac, it’s gonna be a different story!’

At FFC 18 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Surinamese giant Colin George fought the FFC heavyweight kickboxing champion Mladen „The Scorpion Sting“ Brestovac. 207 cm tall member of the famous Mike's gym lasted less than 30 seconds in the ring with the Croatian champ.

"Scorpion Sting" threw a combination of punches that landed on the Surinamese kickboxer and finished him with his left middle kick that Colin managed to block but which also resulted in a serious injury. And thus the match ended. Despite the fact that it was thought he suffered a fracture, Colin explained it was an old injury that ruined his performance.

Is your arm broken in the end?

“No, my arm is not broken. I had a fight on April 4 and I hurt my muscle. I thought it was not so bad but it was. I'm sorry that I couldn't give a fight I wanted to but that kinda pain is crazy! It was a bad idea to take this fight last minute“

How long will it take for you to recover?

“I think I will have to completely rest for two weeks, let the muscle heel and then make it strong again.“

What are your impressions of FFC?

“I think it's a great event and it is a shame a made my debut in this manner. I'm really embarrassed and I hope the FFC leaders will give me one more chance to prove myself.“

What do you think about Mladen Brestovac as a kickboxer?

“He is an experienced fighter. Not one of the best but good. I hope he does not think I'm an easy opponent, because next time we meet it's gonna be a different story.”

You say Brestovac is not one of the best fighters, but he is No 6 on Glory ranking lists. He has 12 consecutive wins and he is a champion of two organizations. Are you a better kickboxer than Mladen Brestovac?

“I'm new in this sport and Brestovac has three times more matches than me under his belt. He is far more experienced fighter. I'm not saying I'm better than him, but I can surely say he is not better than me either. We will see in the rematch.”

So you would like to have a rematch with Brestovac?

"Absolutely! 1000%!"
