Junior dos Santos Anticipates Showcasing Jiu-Jitsu Skills Against Alan Belcher
In an interview with Mike Owens for MiddleEasy, dos Santos expressed his view that Belcher did not deserve the split decision victory he obtained in his fight against Roy Nelson last year.
According to dos Santos, “he lost that fight, he won the first round, but he lost the other rounds. That is what I saw and that is what many saw. But, that doesn’t matter. I have him as an opponent for my next fight and that is what matters to me.”
Dos Santos sees Belcher as a formidable opponent due to his experience in bare-knuckle fighting and aggressive style. The Brazilian fighter relishes the challenge, stating, “I’m really enjoying myself right now.” He confidently predicted a submission victory to capture the Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA title.
Dos Santos believes in his speed and striking ability, stating, “There is no other heavyweight that can be faster than me. I move well and I throw some hard punches.” He is prepared for any scenario in the fight, emphasizing that once Belcher feels the impact of his punches, he will likely change his strategy and attempt to take dos Santos down. However, dos Santos views this as a mistake on Belcher’s part, as it will open up the opportunity for him to secure a submission victory.
For dos Santos, defeating Belcher via submission is not just about winning the title but also about proving his dominance in the sport. The upcoming fight promises to be an exciting clash of styles and techniques.
