Dos Santos wants to fight Lesnar

Junior Dos Santos (8-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) is keen on a fight against UFC heavyweight champions Brock Lesnar.

Dos Santos believes he can outbox Lesnar, who he believes has won the belt too early in his mixed martial arts career.

“I would like to fight him. Brock’s very heavy and fast for his weight but I don’t see this speed on him at all. I think the way to beat him is standing. He is tough, grabs hard, but I believe that I have the ability to win with the right use of striking,” he said to Bahia News today.

“In MMA, the fights go as the public ask for. Lesnar is very famous in the world. He came from pro-wrestling, which sells a lot. The public wanted him fighting the best fighters. UFC did. I don’t know whether he deserved it or not, it’s up to UFC so [fighters] haven’t much to do with that decision,” he explained. “I was indifferent because, if he has no ability to be the champion, he will lose soon.”

He added: “He has showed himself a good athlete, focused, and came from something like theatre and has gotten success in the real fight world. But I believe his house will fall soon. If he faces Minotauro, he losses.”
