“I am really sad. I really wanted to fight him. I hope there’s a chance he comes back.” Minotauro told GracieMag.com. He also said that there’s been a change of plans with Couture’s decision. “My strategy will change once I will no longer have to face such a experienced and skilled guy to get to the title. My next fight is set to take place on February 3rd, but I’m uncertain about the opponent. If it’s Kongo it will not be for the title. If it’s Vera or Sylvia, the belt will be for grabs. I’m flying to the USA to watch Anderson Silva’s bout and I’ll probably know who’s going to be my adversary,” completed the former PRIDE champion.
