The fight between the American and Brazilian will be the main event of UFC on ESPN 53, which takes place on March 23 in Las Vegas, USA.
"To become a two-division champion this year would be great. I know it's a very high bar and I know I've had some setbacks, so obviously I have to be realistic, but I believe it's possible and, God willing, that's what's going to happen. I just need to get my work done this weekend and that's what we're going to do," MMA Junkie quoted Namajunas as saying.
