Palhares: I’m going there to submit [Fitch]
Rousimar Palhares: “I want to bring all my training to the cage. I know what he’s good at, but I will do my best. I’m going there to submit him.”
This main event of this weekend’s WSOF 16 featuring Jon Fitch versus Rousimar Palhares who doesn’t know the fight will play out, just with him winning:
“I don’t know how, but I know I’m going to win,” Palhares said. “I don’t care what he’s going to do, I’m just focused on what I want to do. I want to bring all my training to the cage. I know what he’s good at, but I will do my best. I’m going there to submit him.”
“I have other strategies, too,” he continued. “I’ve worked hard in my stand up game and I’m getting better every day, confident that I can face any opponent and get my first knockout victory.”
In fact, defending his title is not what drives him to beat his fellow UFC veteran.
“My motivation is to do what I love. That’s what drives me every second,” “Toquinho” said. “I want to win so bad I just don’t care about the belt.”
