“I have a lot of confidence in myself. Robbie Lawler, Georges St Pierre, Tyron woodley…I know that, if I'm at my best, I can step into the octagon and beat them on any night (…) If everything goes well at UFC Winnipeg, I will beat Lawler and have my shot at the belt next year”, commented RDA, in an interview with the UFC program “Road To The Octagon”.
To do so, however, RDA will have to overcome a former division champion. Robbie Lawler lost the belt to Woodley, but recovered midway through this year with a decisive victory over Cowboy Cerrone. Although the victory was by decision, Lawler, like Dos Anjos, is known for ending fights early.
“Robbie always comes forward and has heavy hands. He's a finisher of fights and I'm a finisher of fights. We are two finishers, so we will have a big war at UFC Winnipeg. It's really hard to put him down, but it's a struggle, so we never know. I have to use my speed, get in and out and try to take advantage of his mistake to win”, he analyzed.
