Champion of bantamweight on absolute of the 2010 European on the brown belt, Ary Farias is smiling a lot in Lisbon, Portugal. After to get down of the podium, the brown belt talked to TATAME and revealed his dream to fight on this year’s World’s with the black belt on. “To fight with the black belt was always a big dream, since I started on Jiu-Jitsu”, told Ary, on the chat that you check below.

How were your fights on Europeu?

I made three fights on my category, I won the first by submission and the others on the score. I came back home and returned next day to the absolute. I lost on the semifinals to a 264 pounds lion. The fight was 6x6 and one advantage to my opponent. The fights before were also wars... I fought with two 264 pounds lions. The gym vibrated seeing a skinny equilibrated to two 264 pounds monsters (laugh).

Was this year more complicated?

I think there wasn’t complications, what happened is that my opponents are always well trained. I was in excellent shape, training with Cesar Pinheiro and my master Ricardo Vieira and my brother, Yuri Simões.

Are you going to fight the Pan American?

I’ll be there for sure.

You won everything on the brown and this was your second European title with the brown. Will black come this year?

Yes, thank God I’m privileged. I’m having great results since I was a kid until now. About the black belt, my master Ricardo Vieira, told me I was going to be with the brown belt for five more years (laugh). I hope he’s kidding.

Do you want to fight on the World’s with black belt?

To fight with the black belt was always a big dream to me, since I started on Jiu-Jitsu. I think it will happen on the right time, and everyone will see this time coming.

What’s your gold this year?

This year I want to be on the main competitions by CBJJ and IBJJF, and I want to win all of them, with faith in God. I always come to win.
