What Cigano will we see against Velasquez?

Much aggressive, much aggressive. Velasquez is a guy who has great conditioning, so he’s a guy I want to go for the knockout or the submission. I can’t give him time or space to work on what he likes, the takedowns and doing the ground and pound game.

You’ve shown a great evolution on takedown defense and blocking this kind of game. How were the trainings?

I train Wrestling a lot, I like training takedown defenses, and I consider myself good while defending takedown attempts. So, that’s why I feel pretty much comfortable when the guys try to take me down, I feel comfortable, cool with it.

What are the differences and the similarities between Shane Carwin and Velasquez?

Velasquez is much faster and effective on his game, more technical. Velasquez is the number one on the heavyweight division, and it’ll be my greatest challenge ever.
