30-0 Bellator prospect ignores haters
Julio Cesar Neves Jr is one of the best featherweight prospects out of Brazil, but always had to deal with criticism for the level of competition he has faced.
22 year old fighter Julio Cesar Neves already has 30 victories in his short, four year MMA career, and he’s taking some heat for it.
“Critics will always happen,” Neves said. “Fighting well or performing badly, someone out there won’t like. I don’t care about those who criticize me. I just do my job and ignore what they are saying. I did my job and won.
“I don’t feel I’m under pressure because of that, but I’m happy to shut them up. I will continue to fight and win. In fact, this time I want to win by submission. It’s been a while since my last submission. After that, I want to fight on the main card next.”
Neves hasn’t fought over the past eight months, entering the cage twice in 2014. For a fighter who fought and won 15 times in 2013, that’s not enough, but not an issue.
