“Actually, I was surprised at how easy it was. I expected that in some aspects it would be much more difficult. But I also wanted to show that Shevchenko is not the invincible monster that everyone considers her to be. I was surprised because I thought it would be difficult to translate it and impose my game. She is strong and smart, but in the end everything turned out to be easier than I imagined.
When I got into the cage, I was able to easily bring her to the ground, take her back and dominate, which surprised me. I expected a little more complexity, but in the end everything turned out to be easier, ”Santos said in an interview with Combate.
Recall that on June 13 at UFC 275 Shevchenko defeated Santos by split decision.
