Junior Dos Santos (17-4) kommer ta sig an Ben Rothwell (36-9) på UFC Fight Night 86 och berättar om hur länge han skulle vilja gå matcher och om sina förluster mot Cain Velasquez (13-2).
Dos Santos har mött Velasquez tre gånger och förlorat två utav gångerna. I de två sista matcherna mot Velasquez på UFC 155 och UFC 166 fick Dos Santos ta emot många slag, vilket hans ansikte visade, men tungviktaren förklarar att det såg värre ut än vad det egentligen var.
”Yes, there were some tough fights for me,” berättade Dos Santos. ”I took a lot of damage, but I get swollen very easy and I get cut very easy too. For the people that were watching the fight, I was looking worse than I really was, you know? Those fights were pretty hard for me, but I’m learning with everything. This one now, with Alistair Overeem, was something very, very strange for me. That’s hard, that’s really hard part of the game.”
’Cigano’ berättar att han vill kunna fightas så länge som möjligt och förklarar att Randy Couture (19-11) pensionerade sig när han var 47 år.
”(I will fight) as long as I can, you know? I wanna have a long career, for sure,” sa han. ”I know I’m not showing for everybody everything that I got to show, so I’m working on these things. As soon as I find myself in the Octagon again, I’ll be okay to put on a good performance and get back to my winning streak.
”I wanna fight as long as I can. I wanna be like Randy Couture, who fought until he was 47 years old or something. I wanna be one of those guys.”
