Speaking via Tatame Magazine, “Cigano” said:“I was calm when I read a report explaining how it [Cain Velasquez’s] injury had happened. That would be the fight of my life – and it will be, because if God wants, it’ll happen. Now its time to wait and see what UFC has for me.”
“In the fight world, to make a little more, you have to be a legend as Wanderlei Silva or Rodrigo Nogueira or you have to be the champion and today I am neither one nor another but my objective is to be [the champion].”
“Looking on the positive site, it’s good because I will train more wrestling and jiu-jitsu to be able to surprise him but now I have to concern myself with the next adversary and I hope they [UFC] announce it soon.”
The Brazilian heavy hitter now awaits an announcement on who he’ll face next inside the octagon and will be somewhat surprised by the news that potential opponent and former champion, Frank Mir will take on Roy Nelson in May. Perhaps we’ll see him return to action against the last man to hold an interim title in the division, Shane Carwin.
