The Brazilian junior gypsy does not hide his confidence in victory upon his return to the octagon. Scheduled to face the New Zealander Mark Hunt at UFC 160, an event that takes place on May 25th, in Las Vegas, in the United States, the former heavyweight champion says that the duel is over before it even starts.
“I think I'm better than him, I'm a more complete fighter. I really believe in myself and my abilities. I can knock out anyone, and I'm going to knock out this guy (Hunt). He is a very tough opponent, he doesn't give up until he manages to knock out his opponents, and he is very dangerous. But I will stop him. The fight is already over for him. He’s going to lose,” said Cigano, in an interview with the UFC’s official website.
In addition to Cigano, the UFC 160 fight program features two more Brazilians in action. In the main fight of the night, Antonio Pezão challenges Cain Velazquez for the heavyweight belt.

I doubt Gypsy said that.
YOU WILL BRING A FEDERAL APU, WHICH YOU WILL NEVER FORGET,
YOU CAN PREPARE YOUR RETURN TO BAHIA ALL RUNNING GYPSY,
A THOUSAND PINTANGUIS WON'T BE ENOUGH TO RUIN YOUR FACE, YOU WILL BECOME A PET IN BAHIA
A hook from Hunt is enough to leave the gypsy ON THE CANVAS

That Sonnen! !
The guy in about 5 years will become a transvestite and marry Dana... We already know he is gay...
It's a shame that the judges stop the fight when he starts to get beaten... it was like that with Anderson and Jones...
I hope Wand knocks out all of this asshole's teeth...
He talks a lot and fights little... he only wins against scoundrels...
Wow… Look at the comments man! Sometimes I'm ashamed of being Brazilian, really! People only cheer when the guy wins, then when they really need the support, people boo, curse, offend!
Gypsy whore of a hard-working guy, socializes with the children, humble and look at the retribution of the Brazilian people!
Brazilians think it is an obligation for every athlete to win, why is it an obligation? Does Brazil invest a lot in athletes? Is there sponsorship coming in to encourage those just starting out? The athlete suffers a lot in the beginning, he even goes hungry at times, he reaches the top with his own sweat and zero help from the government and the people, then when he is at the top... the people and the government think he is obliged to always win! Then whoever wins... comes to pretend that it is a country that gives a lot of support and people that say they are warm towards athletes! (only self-interested people and government!) It doesn't give a damn and we still have to live paying everything we earn in taxes to be considered with molques aged 13 to 17 robbing and setting fires and leaving free and smiling, then a foreigner comes and gets robbed and people talk bad about Brazil and still think it's bad! If we want to change the country, first we have to change our mentality, our head… Who knows, maybe in 90 years something will change. I have faith because I am Brazilian and I never give up!
