Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos:
-I learned things in the first fight. I enjoyed a good moment and won the fight, and yes I learned some things in the fight.
-We were both injured, and during the fight he kicked me 7 times in one minute. I am not upset at people thinking I didn’t beat the best Cain.
-Yeah I would like to fight in Brazil. I don’t care really where I fight, but It would be great to fight in front of my country.
-Everyone knows my game plan, and I plan on a different Cain. My game plan is the same. I am very prepared and ready to win.
- I think the first fight was very fast, but I learned t hings from it. I think this one will be longer because that fight was just one minute.
-I am a very confident guy, and its part of my strengths. I will do my best to follow my strategy and every fight is different.
-For this fight I am feeling less pressure. I got hurt 10 days out, so I feel less pressure for this fight. I don’t mind the pressure. Its where I want to be, in the main event of the big show.
-If he is able to hold me down, Yes, I think I am ready to use my BJJ.
-He is a professional. I respect him a lot as a professional I know how hard this guy trains, and so I made this my best camp ever. I am very well prepared to fight him again.
-At this point he deserves the fight, He is the number 2. My motivation comes from my family and all the things I will leave.
-I prefer to fight against clean athletes and real professionals. that’s a good challenge. The other guys just say things, and there is guys like ‘him’ or made in the lab. We were made in the gym.
-Velasquez is an excellent wrestler. That’s why I think the fight will be longer. I have to be careful with that, and use everything I trained to win this. I am very confident I will win this. I think I will ko him again.
-My hard work and faith is how I got to where I am.
-you never know whats going to happen in MMA, especially in the heavyweight division. There is so much power behind the punches.
-I have no injuries, I feel great and I am 100%
-I don’t choose opponents. I am thinking about this fight, and not after.
-I think Bigfoot Silva will win. he is more complete than Overeem.
Challenger Cain Velasquez:
-I stayed in the fight because im a fighter. JDS was hurt too, but I dont think it was the best decision for me. It’s in the past.
-I think the media is less for this fight than the last one. Media is a part of a job.
-I know how he fights. I need to fight my style of fight, and I should win.
-I am very respectful of him, bth inside and outside the cage.
-Junior is quick, and timed it perfectly.
-I only got into this sport to become champion, and that’s all I am thinking about.
-I am confident Cormier can make to light heavyweight, he said If I win the title he would drop down.
