When Souza was asked this week about his planned method of attack against upcoming challenger Robbie Lawler, he had no qualms about tipping his hand.
“The plan is to use my jiu-jitsu to bring to the fight,” he said through an interpreter. “I don’t know how or when I’ll bring it to the game but I’m well-prepared, my cardio’s up and I’m ready to go there and show that I’m 100 percent ready to go in and fight. But the plan is when I see the right time, bring jiu-jitsu to the table and use it.”
Of course, that shouldn’t come as too big a surprise to Lawler or anyone else who is going to step into the cage with Souza, who is considered by many to be one of the best jiu-jitsu practitioners in the world, and has 10 career wins via tapout.
Souza (13-2, 1 no contest) has won several major jiu-jitsu and submission grappling championships, including the prestigious Abu Dhabi Combat Club championship in 2005.
