“I have a much bigger arsenal of blows than him, more agility. He has knockout power, but depends on one or two hits. It's an easy game to map. (…), I’m not belittling my opponent, I always like to think he’s the toughest I’ve ever faced, but technically, he’s the opponent who has the least arsenal, the least resources in the fight,” he said. Carlos Boi, in an interview with 'Combate'.

Asked about how he analyzes the fight, the Brazilian stated that his opponent will 'end up giving in' and is betting on a technical knockout.

“I hope he's ready to fight, one round, two rounds, three rounds, that he comes with blood in his eyes because I'm going with blood in my eyes. If he can hit, I'll hit too. Kick, elbow, knee, everything. I like the violence. In my opinion it ends in a technical knockout. He won’t keep up with the pace, he’ll end up giving in, softening up to the point where he’ll end up with a technical knockout,” he concluded.

At 26, Carlos Boi comes from victory against yorgan de castro, in the unanimous decision of the judges, in a fight that took place in UFC Fight Island 4, in October. In professional MMA since 2014, the Brazilian has a record of nine wins and one loss.
