UFC heavyweight number one contender, Junior dos Santos has sent a clear message to former champ, Brock Lesnar that he won’t be intimidated during their time together on “The Ultimate Fighter” reality show, saying everything will be settled in the octagon at the end of the day.Speaking via GracieMag.com, “Cigano” said:
“Rodrigo did the show with Frank Mir and told me it’s a good thing to do, that there my life will be divided into pre-TUF and pro-TUF, that that will be clear in my life. I was really stoked!”
“It’s the fight that came about to prove, once and for all, that I deserve a shot at the belt. I have to be calm, prudent, and fight him intelligently. I have to keep on my toes not to let myself fall into his game.”
“I feel that’s part of it and I’ll even like it. If I understand what he says, I may even have a comeback for him! Truth is, whatever happens in the house will be settled in the octagon, that’s for sure!”
The heavy hitting Brazilian was also asked about his concerns over the language barrier, explaining it was something that worried him at first before his fears were put to rest.“I’m nervous! My manager called me, said he wanted to put me in the UFC house, and I told him about the language problem. He replied: ‘If they’re not worried about it, why would you be?’ That made me more confident and I agreed to it.”
The two men will likely step into the octagon against each other when the promotion visits Vancouver, Canada for the second time in June. Who will come out on top and challenge Cain Velasquez for his coveted heavyweight title before the year is out? Tell us what you think…
