When ex-UFC champ Junior Dos Santos’ nerves kick in before a fight
WITCHITA, Kan. – As Bruce Buffer is giving his intro, Junior Dos Santos is settling into the idea that he’s about to fight.
It’s the walk to the octagon that freaks out the former UFC heavyweight champion.
“The part that I get most nervous is the walkout,” Dos Santos told MMA Junkie during UFC on ESPN+ 4 media day. “Because I want things to start. I want things to happen. That waiting thing, it’s crazy.”
Dos Santos (20-5 MMA, 14-4 UFC) loves to compete. He just wants to get started as soon as possible. So the buildup is excruciating.
Thankfully, the Brazilian won’t have to wait long to exchange fists when he meets Derrick Lewis (21-6 MMA, 12-4 UFC) on Saturday at UFC on ESPN+ 4 from INTRUST Bank Arena.
Dos Santos knows exactly what he’s going to get when “The Black Beast” walks across the canvas, and he’s got a plan for every type of fight.
Time can’t pass soon enough.
Watch the above video to get Dos Santos’ thoughts on his UFC headliner and what it does for his career.
