In an interview with 'ESPN', the lightweight star (up to 70,3kg.) commented on the chance of, for the first time, participating in the same event with another Brazilian reference in MMA.

“There are a lot of Brazilians on this card. This is very important for all of us. Always be on top. I'm happy that Poatan is doing the main fight. I'm going to be there, I'm going to make it happen, with a 'knockout'”, said Do Bronx.
