Gilbert Durinho is the bookmakers' favorite to win Jorge masvidal No. UFC 287, but rules out an easy fight. The Brazilian, who faces the North American on April 8, projected a 'bloody war' and prioritized victory to get closer to a chance at the UFC welterweight (up to 77kg) belt.
“I don’t think it will be easy, I think it will be (a bloody fight). Let's go to war and see the end. You know, maybe in the second, maybe at the end of the third round. But, I'm looking forward to finishing and then whatever it takes. It could be jiu-jitsu, submission or knockout, it could be technical knockout or whatever. I'm looking forward to finishing Jorge masvidal No. UFC 287”, said Durinho in an interview with 'Submission Radio'.
