Accomplishing the tape study, we were in a position to track down a few issues we can operate on and that was fundamentally what the system has been put all around those people flaws that we discovered, and that is what I’m heading to impose.”

Santos held the her cards shut to her vest in conditions of system. She knows everyone is counting her out going into battle night, but totally intends to shock the globe and pull off what would be regarded as a person of the most important upsets in UFC history.

I have been the underdog for most of my fights in the UFC. For me, that is a superior point and I use it for further determination. It doesn’t make a difference when we get in there. We’re likely to fight the very same no subject what folks see.”
