This time, however, Spider was more critical and classified the mistakes in the first fight as “basic”. The Brazilian also guaranteed that, if it takes place on his feet, the rematch against the executioner will not be very long.

“I will never stop with my leg parallel anywhere again. Now even to talk, I'm staying with the fighting base. I should have taken a step. The mistakes I made in the fight, this is the first time I'm talking about them, were basic mistakes. I did everything I had to do, I just didn't hit him. I didn't counterattack. When I had my leg parallel, before I had to strike and take a step back, striking. That's what I didn't do. I reviewed the mistakes, I'm correcting them and it's time to train and have another fight. It's going to be a tough fight and if he stays standing he won't last long”, said Anderson, in an interview with the “SporTV News” program.
