It's an exciting fighting marriage. He has better wrestling and I have better jiu-jitsu, and we both like to go at it straight. It would be a fun fight to watch.

I always wanted to face Rampage and the guy I beat got the chance”, said Maldonado, in an interview with the North American website “MMA Fighting”.

He knocked out a guy I couldn't knock out, a guy I beat in a close decision. I'm sure he would trade with me. I wouldn't be intimidated by a frank exchange. His hands can knock out anyone in the UFC,” he said.
