“Well, he’s a little bit afraid to get hit. He doesn’t stay in there a long time. He puts guys on their back pretty well. I’m sure he’ll have me on my back at some point of the fight. I need to expect that and be prepared for it.”
“it’s not the most exciting style.”
“If that’s all he’s trying to do is take me down, I’m sure at some point he’ll succeed. I’m not saying I’m going to stay on my back very long, but the takedown is a good possibility. I’m not taking anything for granted. I’ve seen guys get knocked out by jiu-jitsu guys with one punch. I still need to be careful with him everywhere. But yes, I feel much better on my feet. And really, I feel I’m better than him everywhere, including the grappling.”
