UFC on Versus Preview: Junior Dos Santos Talks Gabriel Gonzaga
"I’m happy to have this next opportunity. It’s a good fight for me. Napão is a tough and dangerous guy, but I’m in rhythm and I believe it will be enough time to prepare myself. I’m happy about the UFC’s decision."
"I was already studying him and my training was totally geared to facing him. I’ll take that up again and focus on his way of fighting again to set up my strategy... I’ve done a lot of ground fighting, very frequently. Also, I train Jiu-Jitsu every day, just as I train boxing. Before the fight with Yvel, for example, Demian Maia dropped by Bahia and I trained with him. In Rio Feijão helps me out a lot. I have the help of a lot of first-rate black belts. I think I’m up to date on the ground and I may even surprise people there."

Blah blah blah. It’s just like how every wrestler tells us “I want to show off my hands.”
If JDS gets taken down, Gonzaga’s gonna pass his guard and slap on a kimura in about 13 seconds.
I love this fight though – I think it’s a toss-up.
No,
it’s different from when wrestlers say they want to show off their hands…
JDS was asked how will he deal with the ground game of Napao, and he answered. Never did he say that he isn’t going out to grapple with him, in fact, he has said in several interviews that he’s going to play to his strengths and knock him out.
