“We will see on December 11 who is the best among us. I believe in myself. I think I have a lot more weapons in my arsenal than Poirier. The drummers brought him to the ground too easily, and you know what happens if I drag him to the ground. If he exchanges blows in a standing position, then here I am also all right - I hit hard."
"There will be a fire on December 11. I have firepower in my hands, I have jiu-jitsu. I have great respect for him, but I want to remain a champion, I want to keep this belt," the Brazilian told MMA Fighting.
