“There’s a guy who I think would be cool. He's already made a bit of a name for himself, has some fights in the organization. I think he has a beautiful style and I think our games would go together very well. I'm talking about Sergio Pettis, brother Anthony Pettis. I think the fans and the organization would love this fight”, said the São Paulo native, in an interview with the North American website “MMA Junkie”.
After earning the “Fight of the Night” bonus on his Ultimate debut, Thominhas assured that he does not fight thinking about the awards, but he also did not hide his satisfaction in receiving them. “I don’t fight thinking about the bonus. I fight wanting to put on a great show and emerge victorious. I was really happy when I found out I had the best fight of the night. I credit this award to the work done together with my team. I want to train more now to earn even more bonuses,” he said.
