“I think I could last five rounds. Of course, I always try to finish as soon as possible, by submission or knockout, but Gustafsson is tough. So I think it will probably last all rounds. (…) Gustafsson is extremely resistant and has very good physical conditioning. He has been a top fighter for many years. I've faced other opponents like him, so I know it will be difficult to fight him. He moves a lot, and sometimes even runs around the Octagon. So I will have to be patient and use my agility”, declared the Brazilian, in an interview with the website ”MMA Junkie”.
Although he recognizes the Swede's qualities, Glover guarantees that he will have his hand raised by the referee after the end of the duel, regardless of how he achieves victory.
"I will win. I don't know how, but I will win. Either I’m going to land a punch, or I’m going to take him down and put my jiu-jitsu to work,” she concluded.
