“He’s boasting a lot about himself and this is not going to be good for him in the fight. He’s way too cocky. He just got the belt. He thinks he’s already defended the belt against me and he’s speaking about fighting other people. He’ll see what happens. Just wait.”

“I learned a lot (from the first fight). We have studied a lot with my team in all the fields of fighting. I’ve been training very hard for this fight. It’s a very different situation now. I want to be the champion again – I’m very eager to get the belt back. I have lot of confidence after my last victory and I’m excited to fight and get this belt once again.”

In a new interview with MMAJunkie.com, former UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao discusses his upcoming rematch against new champ, TJ Dillashaw.

Can TJ repeat history?
