“The (fight between) Walker against Marreta is very complicated. Both are very explosive, but Marreta has more 'power', can handle more and has fought more times. So, I believe that Marreta will win by knockout”, said the native from Espírito Santo.

“They are two friends. Johnny Walker I already trained with him and Marreta, I talked to him on TUF. I said: 'Muppet, look at your size, catch these guys. You're a big guy, you beat these guys up'. And after that, he improved a lot. So, it has its merits. O Johnny Walker It's coming strong. I think it's going to be a 'fight'. Whoever fits their hand there will win. I'll just be sitting in the armchair, wanting to see a great show and may the best one win”, said 'Crazy Dog'.
