Rogério Minotouro believes that downtime will not be an obstacle to its fight against Anthony Johnson, this Saturday (26), in the co-main fight of UFC on FOX 12. The Brazilian, who hasn't fought since February 2013, hopes to be able to impose his game against the North American, considered the favorite for the fight on the betting exchange .

“My strategy is to dictate the pace of the fight and impose my game at all times. I greatly respect the Anthony Johnson, who is a very dangerous fighter, but I believe that I am more complete than him and that I have enough weapons to win this fight both on the feet and on the ground. I'm sure that, if necessary, I will do the three rounds at a high level and with great intensity”, commented the Brazilian.

Before suffering the injuries that prevented him from returning to the UFC, Minotouro achieved two victories against former light heavyweight champions: Tito Ortiz (2011) and Rashad evans (2013)
