Wanting to repeat the result of the first meeting between them, that ended with the victory of the athlete of Nova União, Dudu, will go for it. “He can expect a lot of aggressiveness, I’ll attack much more. If depends on me, the fight will be standing up, but I’m good on the floor too, I’m Jiu-Jitsu’s brown belt, I never stop to train on the ground, not at all, but I’m focused standing up”, guarantee.

Working the striking with José Aldo, Jhonny Eduardo and Hacran Dias, the champion of Shooto expects for a big battle. “I think it’s gonna be a good fight, he’s coming from two victories and I think that he will come for it, but I’ll be better than the other time. I’m more expert now, I’m coming from a controversy fight in Japan, I want to fight, I’ll give a show”, promises.

Seeing his sequence of five victories interrupted with a controversy setback on Japanese Shooto, but he’s looking for revenge. “It was a though fight, they took a point of me because I held on the strings, I gave a knockdown on him on the first round, on the second I finished with the fitted katagame. On the third I’ve grabbed the back, passed and finished with fitted katagame… The rounds that I won, they (judges) said that it was tie, and the rounds that he won gave him the victory”, remember.

“It was a controversy fight, but as it was a fight for the belt on their house, the obligation was to knock out… I got weak, I couldn’t recover the weight, but we’re on the battle to get back again”, promises Dudu. “The expectation now is to make a good fight with Betão and to try the revenge in Japan”.

BET IN JOSE ALDO’S KNOCKOUT

Helping on José Aldo’s preparation for WEC’s title, Dudu is excited to the combat. “He’s flying, well-prepared and I think that he will knock out”, said, betting in a quick combat. “I think that Mike Brown will handle the first round, but Junior will knock out on the second. He’s very fast, very explosive, and Mike Brown doesn’t hold him”, finished.
