Aldo defends title in June (Photo: Harry How/UFC)
The Brazilian José Aldo seems to have lost patience with the provocations of his next opponent, Max Holloway. They face off in the main fight of UFC 212, which takes place in Rio de Janeiro, home of the linear champion, on June 3. And the Hawaiian promised to take Aldo's “kingdom” when the two face each other. “Scarface” didn’t like what he heard and responded accordingly.

“It’s going to take p…. none. He's just another one who's going to try and who has no idea how trained I am. I'm excited for this fight because of everything he said. That just motivated me, every time he spoke, I motivated myself. You can be sure that he will not take any reign here”, commented Aldo in statements published by the North American website MMA Fighting.
The Brazilian really seems confident of another victory. So much so that he predicted a knockout over Holloway, who has yet to lose via this method in the UFC. But Aldo said he is tired of long fights and has been training specifically to end the fight sooner than necessary.
“I'm going to knock him out. I'm tired of getting into wars, we've fought a lot. You can be sure that a knockout is coming. I have to respect my opponent, no matter who he is, but I'm going to go in there and I'm going to win, that's a fact”, he concluded.
