the american Trevin giles is close to having one of the most important fights since his UFC debut. Coming from two consecutive defeats, the athlete is in a delicate situation and needs to defeat the Brazilian Antonio Arroyo, this Saturday (8), at UFC 247, to continue with the company without the risk of being dismissed. In an interview with 'Combate', the athlete, however, warned the man from Pará about the risks of the fight this weekend.

“He (Antônio) needs to be concerned about all aspects of my game. Of course, the ideal for me is to be able to end the fight quickly, with victory in my favor. I want to feel comfortable so that my strikes flow in the best way possible”, said the American.

Trein also made a point of showing that he studied his opponent's game this Saturday. According to the Brazilian's opponent, it is necessary to be careful both in the stand-up game and in Arroyo's jiu-jitsu.

“I know he's a guy who likes to shoot. He is known for this. I also think his jiu-jitsu is underrated. I'm sure he has a good foundation on the ground. But that's basically it, I'll be ready for his kicks and we have everything we need to put on a very lively fight”, he concluded.

No UFC 247, Giles reaches the mark of 14 fights in his professional MMA career. Debuting in the sport in 2014, the fighter arrived at the organization undefeated, but suffered the first negative results within the company. In total, there are 11 triumphs and two setbacks.

Just like the North American, Arroyo also needs a negative result to return to the winning path. Born in Belém (PA), the athlete comes from a defeat against Andrew Muniz in his debut and is looking for his first victory in Ultimate. Today, Antônio has 12 fights, with nine victories and was beaten on three occasions.
