Sportsnave reported Friday about a press conference of DREAM.8 in Nagoya on April 5. Hayato "Mach" Sakurai who fights Shinya Aoki told his current feeling.

"I want to ko Aoki quickly and go home. I believe our fight will be exciting if I don't do anything stupid and keep trying to ko him. I shouldn't be dragged into his plan because his fighting style is boring for fans." (Aoki said that you were an old generation fighter.) "He can say whatever he wants to say. However, he fights like a worm, and his style is much older than mine. He even looks like a worm looking creature. He has defeated his opponents by using techniques up his sleeve. Once he shows them all, he won't be able to win because he has no good physical ability. I think Tatsuya Kawajiri and Mitsuhiro Ishida, who he trains with, can defeat Aoki now."
