But Belcher promises to make the Brazilian's fight difficult, even using mental games to thwart Toquinho's feared leg attacks.

In the last press conference before the fight, the North American stated that he can control his opponent's actions and promises to use this tactic against the Brazilian athlete.

“I try to control my opponents mentally whenever we are in combat,” said Belcher, who, despite not giving details, explained that he developed this technique with years of experience in the Octagon.

“I just mess with their emotions. If they want to take me down or get close to me, I make them feel like they can’t do what they want,” she said. “This only comes after many years of struggle. You have a connection with your opponent when you are there, so you learn to get the best out of your opponent, mentally”, he concluded.
