Augusto Tanquinho Mendes is very excited to shelve the UFC career for once. He told flocombat:
“Leozinho confirmed [his participation,” Mendes said. “It will be very good. It’s a pleasure to fight him. I admire him a lot, I grew up watching him fight. He’s a guy who inspired me a lot. To have the chance to fight ‘Leozinho’ is something you don’t get every day, and it probably won’t happen again, I believe. When I got to [the] black belt [division] he did not fight so much anymore. We never ran into each other, not even at ADCC.”
“I continue to train jiu-jitsu all the time”, Mendes said. “I train with the staff of my team that has been fighting in championships. During the time that I focused on MMA I still fought in jiu-jitsu, I did not lower the level. The only thing that changes is that during my training camps for MMA I decrease the amount of jiu-jitsu drills, which I won’t do now. I will do my normal training for MMA, but I don’t put so much time into the standing part.
“Maybe I have sinned in preparation”, Mendes reflected on his loss to top prospect Aljamain Sterling. “We stayed in the clinch, in wrestling, and we weren’t expecting that. I didn’t do so much in the camp, I think that may have been the mistake. But [Sterling is] a tough guy, he lacked experience but he’s getting better. I’m keeping my head up and I’m continuing training. I’m in the right place. I’ll show you that I can defeat a lot of guys.”
