Junior dos Santos lovar att knocka Stipe Miocic: ’I’m the fastest heavyweight in history’

Under helgens gala UFC 211 i Dallas i Texas, kommer vi att få se titelmatchen mellan tungviktarna Stipe Miocic och Junior dos Santos i huvudmatchen.

Brasilianaren dos Santos blev inte förvånad över att han fick titelmatchen och tvekade inte att tacka ja.

I knew I’d fight for the belt since my win over Ben Rothwell. It took longer than I expected, but when other athletes started to turn down fights with me, creating millions of excuses, the only option was to fight the one who didn’t hide and accepted the fight, the champion Stipe Miocic.

I think that the fact that I always stepped up to fight anyone has been an issue for me, because, as we can see, other (fighters) are strategical and clearly pick fights. In my opinion, the right move has been made. I not only beat the current champion, but I’m also coming off a win over the guy that was coming up in the division before he faced me, and I had a big win with a great performance, unlike other alleged title contenders.

Dos Santos menar nu att han kommer att knocka Miocic, vilke då skulle bli första knockouten på 4 år.

I don’t think we will go past the third round this time. I can guarantee you it won’t be a knockdown like in the first fight, it will be a knockout now.

I believe [Miocic] has really evolved, but he can’t use his recent knockouts as a parameter. I’m different. I’m as strong as him, and I’m the fastest heavyweight in history. Whatever his strategy is, I will win.

Everybody knows I’m more confident standing, that I have my boxing as my background and that I go for the knockout the entire time. There’s nothing new. If he decides to stand and trade with me, he will go down — and this time he won’t get back up again.
