“Every fight I’ve hungered to win more than the last … The key to beating Roy really is not to move backwards … Fights that I’ve seen of Roy when people have done well with him is when they move forward. If he makes a mistake … I’m a lot bigger than Dos Santos and I hit a lot harder. I’m a taller, longer athlete, … quicker, I’ll constantly pepper him with shots when he comes in and making him pay when I do hit him with something. When I hit Cheick Kongo, the punch alone threw him halfway across the Octagon. On the night of the fight, neither one of us is gonna pull any punches. If I catch him with something, I’ll try to hurt him with it.”
