Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos shared his expectations from the bare-knuckle fight against another ex-owner of this title Fabricio Werduma, which will be held on September 9 at the Gamebred Bareknuckle 5 tournament.
In 2008, dos Santos managed to knock out Werdum in his debut fight under the UFC banner, but Gypsy claims that the fight has nothing to do with the upcoming battle.
“It was an extremely important fight in my career, if not the most important. So I remember everything very well. But we are completely different fighters. The only thing that doesn't change is the approach. He is a grappler and I am a drummer - nothing has changed. But I think that as athletes we have developed in some ways, maybe we have changed in some ways, regressed in some ways, but that is why I say that this is not even a rematch, this is the second fight. I don't think these fights have anything to do with each other. Anything can happen, especially at heavyweight.
I see that in the opening of the fight he will trade, but as soon as Werdum feels my punches, he will want to transfer me. I intend to knock him out again, ”Combate quotes Werdum.
