The Brazilian junior gypsy will be responsible for closing the 2012 Ultimate season. The Brazilian heavyweight will put his division belt on the line against the North American Cain Velazquez in the main fight of UFC 155, an event that takes place on December 29th, in Las Vegas, in the United States.
The duel between Cigano and Velasquez marks a reunion between the fighters, since in November 2011, the Brazilian beat the North American and won the desired Ultimate belt.
“My dream was to be champion, the heavyweight champion. Now, my dream is to break records”, said the Brazilian, in an interview promoting UFC 155.
Despite having won the first duel, Júnior continues to praise Cain who, according to him, has several features that could make a new triumph difficult.
“It presents a number of challenges for me. His gas is one of the best in the heavyweight division, he has very good stand-up skills. But I think his best skills are wrestling and his ground and pound”. said Cigano, who nevertheless guarantees that he will leave the Octagon victorious once again.
“I really think I'm going to knock him out again. Maybe around the second or third round, but I think I'll knock him out again. I’m going to prove that I’m the baddest guy on the planet.”
