after winning Gian Villante at UFC Natal, last March, light heavyweight Fábio Maldonado showed interest in fighting the veteran Dan Henderson – that he had overcome Mauritius Shogun on the same night. However, the Brazilian's hopes were dashed by the announcement of the fight between Hendo and Daniel Cormier for UFC 173. Despite this, Maldonado continues to look for an opponent and has already chosen his next target: Anthony Johnson, who made his debut in Ultimate with a victory over Phil Davis.
“I want to fight Anthony Johnson. He would be a good fight for me. I would fight anyone, but I prefer a fight against Anthony Johnson. He has a great standup and takedown game, but I don't think he could take me down. I want to fight against a well-ranked fighter, so if I beat him I can get a place in the (light heavyweight) ranking”, said “Caipira de Aço” to the “MMA Fighting” website.
At 34 years old, Fábio Maldonado has a record of 21 wins and six losses. After experiencing the worst moment of his career, with three consecutive defeats, the São Paulo native from Sorocaba recovered and has three consecutive victories – over Roger Hollett, Joey Beltran and Gian Villante. Already Anthony Johnson, 30 years old, has a record of 17 wins and four losses. The athlete from blackzilians hasn't lost since 2012. Since then, Johnson has won seven straight wins.
