Vitor miranda said what his strategy will be in the decision of TUF Brasil 3, next Saturday (31), when he will face Antonio Carlos “Shoe Face” at the Ibirapuera Gymnasium, in São Paulo (SP).
The veteran believes that patience and care will be key factors in the fight, which will define who will be the champion of the heavyweight division of the World Cup. reality show. “I'm going to enter carefully, make use of my experience and use patience to end this fight positively for me. I'm going to look for striking all the time, I think what's going to be the key is him trying to develop his game on the ground and me trying to develop my game on the feet. I think that's the strategy, because if a guy is very good in one area and more deficient in another, there's no reason for him to take risks in the other's,” said Vitor.
Miranda also stated that the experience at the house made him change his impression of the controversial Chael Sonnen, who was his coach on TUF. “I realized that in the fight world there are many personalities. Some promote themselves by fighting, others by provoking opponents. He knows how to promote a fight, despite denigrating his opponent's image. But that's part of it, he chose to do this and he makes money that way. I can't blame the fighters for hating him, even my coaches Rodrigo Minotauro e Rogério Minotouro When they came to visit me at home, they didn't want to go into the dressing room, so as not to be in the same place as him. But I had the opportunity to get to know another side of Sonnen, his personal side, as a man, and I was impressed by his education and intelligence. He is really a person of good character, but he chose to promote the fights very aggressively. But I can say that apart from the cameras, he is another person”, guaranteed the 35-year-old Santa Catarina native.
the fight between Vitor miranda e Shoe Face will make up the main card of TUF Brasil 3 Finale, which will also feature the middleweight category decision between Warlley alves e Marcio Lyoto.
