Paradeiser: After losing to Buchinger I didn’t know if I wanted to do MMA anymore. He was my role model, now he’s a speculator and plays on people’s emotions. I’m gonna kill him!

He has faced him once before, but he couldn’t handle the fight in his head. Now he’s getting a second chance and seems more than ready. In addition, Ronald Paradeiser will be entering his third title fight. The first two he didn’t make it, one just with Ivan Buchinger. How will he do now?

He’s still only 26 years old. He’s one of Czechoslovakia’s greatest hopes. Yet he’s already accomplished a lot. He has 25 professional fights, a record of 17-8, two title fights in the Oktagon, duels with Losen Keita or Ivan Buchinger, beating Leo Brichta or Karol Rysavy.

If Ronald Paradeiser keeps this up, he is going to have some really great years ahead of him. He can take the next and big important step on Saturday, December 9, when he takes on Buchinger for the second time and enters his third title fight.

“When I lost to him the other day, it was a thorn in my side. I was sad for four or five months. I didn’t know what to do next. If I wanted to train, if I still wanted to do the sport… Buchinger was a role model for me. That’s how I imagined an athlete, but coming to the Okagon changed that,” he expressed on The Road to the Oktagon.

Back then he went into the fight broken, now it’s the other way around. He’s confident. However, he doesn’t underestimate anything. “Ivan is still a big bite for me. He is the champion, the most successful Slovak. It’s a big motivation for me. I want to beat him. I still have this comment with him that he was the 18th best in the world,” he said on Face to Face for a change.

Paradeiser doesn’t know Buchinger and criticises his behaviour

So far, in both published shows from the Oktagon, Rony Paradeiser has wondered and questioned a lot about the behaviour of his former idol. He criticizes several things.

“I’m not familiar with him. I think he caught some kind of pose. He’s playing on people’s emotions. I have no respect for him anymore. He’s become a terrible profiteer. He says he has no money and has to go to work, yet six weeks before the game he is flying to the Maldives. He’s playing Attila to get some money out of it, but he’s not Attila,” Paradeiser reports.

Moreover, Buki often points out that he is old. He seems a little more resigned, but still claims he wants to win. Moreover, this may be a tactic on his part to upset his opponent.

“I understand what he says. He’s probably not the easiest to train anymore, but he still has experience behind him and he doesn’t deny it. I still take it that he’s an extremely dangerous fighter. When he talks like that, you want to underestimate him. But in my head I don’t want to admit that possibility,” Buchinger’s opponent is clear.

“I’ve always wanted to be the best, but I couldn’t find the right way and get more out of myself. Now I’m facing the test of my life. I know I have moved to another level. I know I can destroy Buchinger with this level,” Paradeiser concluded the topic.
