The Brazilian then touches on his training camp and what a win over Jai does for him in the division.
Ike Villanueva closes out the program to discuss his UFC Vegas 30 fight against Marcin Prachnio. Ike talks about his last win and how he views this fight very similar to his last one where he just needs to land one good punch to get the finish. He also talks about him not fighting in his hometown of Houston at UFC 262.
