Junior dos Santos will defend his title against Alistair Overeem in the middle of the year. What are your thoughts about that?

Cigano wins via knockout, I’m sure of that. He’s a lot faster, knows how to move, he won’t get that knee, and he’s much more complete and has much more stamina, and that’ll make a great difference. Overeem has never defeated someone as big as Cigano.

How do you see Overeem’s evolution since Pride, where he fought names like Shogun, Arona and your brother, Rogerio?

Alistair Overeem is a lot bigger, stronger, more explosive, but not big enough to beat Junior dos Santos.
