Gregory Robocop is one of the great representatives of the preliminary card in UFC 283, an event that takes place next Saturday (21). The Brazilian, however, saw his opponent being substituted and, instead of Brad Tavares, now measures forces against Brunno Hulk.

In an interview on 'half day', which included the participation of SUPER FIGHTS, Robocop revealed that he had no difficulty adapting his style of play for the next fight and reveals that he didn't even change his strategy to compete in UFC Rio.

“I didn’t have that much difficulty adapting. I have great coaches at Kill Cliff (Sanford MMA). Guys even study how many times a guy goes to the bathroom. I'm very confident in the work I did. Obviously it's a different guy, it's different, but it's been like that throughout my entire career. I always focus on what I have to offer. He's going to have to play my game. I'm going to do what I have to do, with strategy, focusing on victory, but always playing my game, what I know best”, said Robocop.

Still on the 'Hulk' style, Gregory understands that his opponent is short, but strong – as the nickname suggests.

“He’s a short, strong guy. I didn't change my strategy. I always think about fighting for 15 minutes. If the victory comes sooner it’s a bonus, but I’m ready to fight wherever the fight is,” he concluded.

At 30, Gregory Robocop tries to score the third consecutive victory in his career. The fighter currently has a record of 13 positive results and four negative results.
