UFC 138 will not take place for another several months, but that is not stopping heavyweight title contender Junior Dos Santos from coming up with a game plan in order to take down current champ Cain Velasquez:
“Much aggressive, much aggressive. Velasquez is a guy who has great conditioning, so he’s a guy I want to go for the knockout or the submission. I can’t give him time or space to work on what he likes, the takedowns and doing the ground and pound game. I train Wrestling a lot, I like training takedown defenses, and I consider myself good while defending takedown attempts. So, that’s why I feel pretty much comfortable when the guys try to take me down, I feel comfortable, cool with it. Velasquez is much faster and effective on his game, more technical (Comparing to Carwin). Velasquez is the number one on the heavyweight division, and it’ll be my greatest challenge ever.”
