Ian Heinisch Discusses His LFA 22 Headliner Fight With Markus Perez Echeimberg

AXS TV Fights recently interviewed Ian Henisch ahead of his LFA 22 headlining bout with Markus Perez Echeimberg. The fight is set for later tonight on AXS TV. Below are some highlights and a video of the interview.

Heinisch on altitude being a real issue for LFA 22: “Altitude is a real thing. It’s not only the lungs, it’s the lactic acid you get in your muscles. But either way, even if we were at sea level, it’s going to end the same, and I’m going to execute. We’re going to put on a quick, strong pace. I believe he’s going to break soon. He’s going to feel (the altitude). But, either way, if he was fine, it wouldn’t change nothing.”

Heinisch on how his opponent can’t get good wrestling training in Brazil: “I don’t know how much wrestling you can get in Brazil. That’s one of the biggest pieces of MMA. So if you don’t have that, how can you say you’re well-rounded? Either way, it doesn’t matter. I’m going to impose my will on him and break him.”

Heinisch on mentoring people: “I’m just starting off I’m mentoring some people who are pretty personal to me. And also getting to some other people that just need help. And I feel like I can help them. Also, I’m soon volunteering for the church, to go to the prisons and actually speak to them and share my testimony. God has put me on a huge platform, and I’m going to use it and glorify his name.”
