""In modern MMA, a team is no longer a family, but a company, which has several families. My role is to manage this company. I don't need Jean and Ruffy to be friends. The fact that their friendship is strained doesn't prevent them from continuing to respect each other.""
""If Volkanovski is in his corner in the next fight, I don't feel comfortable being there. After all, I'm preparing an athlete to fight him.""
""I owe everything I've achieved as a coach to these four (Silva, Ruffy, Carlos Prates and Caio Borralho). It's been more than 10 years of working together. I have enormous admiration and respect for all of them and I would like to be by their side.""
Mauricio Ruffy faces challenges in his training camp due to Jean Silva's recent performance, which affects Ruffy's chances for a title shot. Pablo Sucupira discussed Ruffy's issues with Silva and the potential for training at Cornerman's facilities. Sucupira emphasized that modern MMA teams operate more like companies than families, allowing for professional respect despite personal conflicts. He also stated that UFC champion Alexander Volkanovski cannot be part of Ruffy's corner for his next fight, as it complicates his coaching role.
