Once the champion of the Balkans, today the Albanian conquers the world of MMA

Bernardo Sopai is the young man who has made all Albanians proud. He is known as a mixed martial arts fighter, as he knocked out his opponent in just 13 seconds.

In a Skype connection from Sweden for "ABC e Mângjesi", Bernardo said that his career began in Greece where he broke the record, being declared the champion of the Balkans. Then he decided to leave for Sweden, where he is excelling in this sport.

"With my coach, we attack the opponent. I had two months of preparation for that match and I knew what he was going to do, I knew how he goes in and I was waiting for him to make that mistake. Even when the moment came, I caught it for 13 seconds. This Lopez plays in a category above, but I am the champion in this organization and he came to my weight, but he didn't make it. 

Maybe after this match we will make a contract with the UFC, we'll see. This is the largest organization in MMA. I have many people who support me in Albania and I see that there are many people who follow him. When I was little, 7 years old, I ran away to Albania with my mother and brother, then at 17 I broke a record in Greece, I was number 1 in Greece and in the Balkans. Then, I saw that I couldn't walk anymore and I came here to Sweden to try it and I live only here, where I am also doing sports", the young man confessed, among other things.
