Thiago Santos
I know Magomed Ankalaev is a very strong fighter. He's a good striker and he also wrestles at a high level, but I'm ready for him anyway. I use different training camps and different ways of preparing for each opponent, and therefore I do every fight a new way. I will try to surprise Magomed. I think that the victory will bring me closer to the championship title again, and I am ready to get back on track.
