“She has the right to her opinion. It doesn't really do anything for me, it doesn't affect me. There are a lot of people sitting here and judging, but I work hard and I will work hard for her. I know that Correia is tough, that he won't stop for anything, so I will definitely have to be technical in this fight and I can't get confused. She uses the jab and moves a little, but she can have a different style too. I don't want to make this fight crazy, I want it to be a good, technical fight. I want to be able to implement all my technique and I want to be able to capitalize on many things. That’s my plan”, commented the former champion.
