Ground and Pound - Fightnews

This coming Saturday, Golden Glory fighter Errol Zimmerman will face Germany’s Nikolaj Falin. It will be the K-1 standout’s first fight on German soil. We talked to him before the big fight.

GroundandPound: You will face Nikolaj Falin on August 28th in Merseburg, Germany. You took the fight on relatively short notice, tell us how that came about.
Errol Zimmerman: My management arranged that, I'm always ready for a fight.

How good do you know your opponent and his style?
I know that he got knocked out the last time he stood in the ring and that he fought Gokhan Saki. I don’t have to know more.

Did Saki give you a few clues on how to fight Falin?
I just want to fight, I'm ready. I didn't talk to Saki, he is on vacation.

Did you watch some of his past fights?
I never watch my opponent’s fights, I follow my own game plan.

This will be your first fight on German soil, and thus a very special moment for the German fans – for you, too?
I will give the German people a wonderful knockout so they will enjoy the fight.

Have you ever been to Germany?
Yes, I have been to Germany, but I have never fought here.

The Japanese K-1 organization is going through some troubles right now. If that wouldn’t have been the case, would that fight against Falin still have happened?
I always want to fight and Golden Glory always manages to get me fights – I never say no an opponent.

What can we expect from Errol Zimmerman in the Future?
You will see even more knock-outs by me. I always give the fans what they want: a great show.

Errol Zimmerman will fight Nikolaj Falin on August 28th at the 4. Merseburger Fight Night. Find more information on how to get tickets, the rest of the fight card and more here.
