I will be the next one to have the opportunity to fight for the UFC middleweight title,” he said, in an interview reproduced by the North American website “MMA Fighting”. “I’m focused on winning. I'm not thinking any differently. I've already erased that fight we had when I debuted in the UFC from my mind and I'm here to do a new, good job.”
