In an interview with Ariel Helwani, Poatan showed a positive and determined attitude towards his career. He highlighted that he has achieved things he never imagined and, despite the setback, he remains focused on winning back the belt.

“My head is very good. Everything I’ve been through in my life is something I never imagined I would achieve, everything I’ve achieved. So, I can say that I achieved what I never imagined. What’s coming now is profit, but even so, I’m very motivated to get my belt again. Nothing has changed,” revealed Poatan.

Although the clash between Poatan and Ankalaev is recent, a rematch between the fighters seems inevitable. The Russian has already stated that he has accepted the new duel for August and is just waiting for the Brazilian to give the 'ok'.
