Earlier this year, after losing his UFC title, 'Poatan' took a significant amount of time off to recuperate and learn from his mistakes. Keeping distractions at bay while preparing for the rematch and not disclosing all of his workout details to fans, the Brazilian is certain that he can dethrone the Dagestani, after which the latter won't have a chance to fight for the title again.
