The two Brazilians in action at UFC 94, which took place today in
Behind the scenes of the press conference, the journalist Cristiane Ripari spoke with the Brazilians about the expectation for the fight, near the time of stepping inside the Ultimate’s octagon. "Lyoto is a good fighter, has his merits, but I don’t think he likes to fight, he likes to run and work the psychological part of the opponent. I have no problem with that, I’m prepared", says Thiago. On the other hand, Lyoto ensures that he’s ready for everything that the American Top Team athlete puts against him.
"He’s a tough fighter, didn’t get where he’s today by accident. He has his merits, but I don’t think on him, I think in my style and I believe on it. Everyone has their merits, so I only have style in mind and what I can do", said the fighter, betting on his standing game against Thiago. "I'm ready for everything, I have no prediction for the fight. I’ll get there to kill or die, my game is the striking and we’ll see who can put the game in practice”.
Second Brazilian to cross Thiago’s way, Lyoto promises to be a barrier on his way to the belt, but the ATT athlete expects to be the last one standing after UFC 94. "It isn’t cool, we’re guys from the same country and it’s sad, but both of us has the same goal in mind and only one can reach it, so I wish that the better will win. My strategy is to fight a lot", guarantees Thiago.
