Luiz Dorea, highly regarded boxing trainer to Junior dos Santos, tells UOL that his pupil will be champion someday:
"I have no doubt that Cigano is going to be another Brazilian champion. In the past, he was a hope, but today is a reality in the UFC. He’s a heavyweight with skilled hands and he easily learns the tecniques during the trainings, not only in boxing. He’s either good in jiu-jitsu or wrestling. The next fight is still away, then we keep focusing boxing. When the fight is closer we start to mix the styles".
