Thoughts on the opponent’s best stylistic attributes and if tape study has been done on De Oliveira
“Yeah for sure. We watch some fights from him and yeah. We have our game plan. Yeah, I’m prepared for this fight and I will show a good fight and come out with a W, with a win… In this fight, he like to punching, hard-punching. Yeah, can throw hard kicks. He’s also a real fighter. It’s an interesting matchup. Yeah, we are ready to fight.”
Having another fight to prepare for at Oktagon 40 less than a month
“I am focused a hundred percent on the eleven February, Denilson. Then after this, I go into my next fight three weeks later. But now is one hundred percent focused on De Oliveira. I can do this because I had the last year the same. I fight (Robert) Pukac in March and two weeks later, fighting (Mateusz) Strzelczyk in Ostrava. It was two weeks and now I have three weeks between the fights. One week more, it’s better for me. But it’s no problem for me.”
