“When they start talking a lot, I think it's because they're worried,” said the Brazilian, who isn't afraid if the fight stays in the stand all the time. “I am well prepared. If it doesn't go to the ground, I'll have to change with him”, he added.
Murilo Bustamante, Toquinho's coach, returned the American's provocation. The black belt, who is a former UFC champion, stated that if Belcher lets the duel go to the ground, he will have to be careful not to suffer an injury.
“Everything Toquinho does, he does it tightly. So, when he gets into a position, in one or two seconds, people have to knock, because it's too tight”, he teased.
