"I personally believe everybody has holes in her game. That is not to say that anybody is bad at anything in particular… when you throw a jab you expose yourself for the counter… you are close enough to get hit… When we're in there fighting, he can get hit, he can hit me. I can knock him out, he can knock me out."

Cannonier expressed that in a fight, anyone, no matter how good, can get knocked out. 'The Killa Gorilla' believes that Adesanya is very good, but he is still a human being.
The Texan has never faced ‘Stylebender’ before, but has tested himself against a host of other top-class competition. The middleweight has faced the likes of Glover Teixeira, Jan Blachowicz and Dominic Reyes, with wins over Kelvin Gastelum and Anderson Silva.
"It's the perfect match-up for me" - Jared Cannonier previews his fight with Derek Brunson at UFC 270
During the same interview, Cannonier was asked about his upcoming fight with Derek Brunson. 'The Killa Gorilla' responded with:
"I think it's the perfect match up for me. It's a classic grappler vs. a predominant striker in myself... I can grapple with the best as well. I feel that this is the perfect match-up for me, terrible match-up for him."
Cannonier expects his striking to be too much for Brunson and also has a firm belief in his ability to counter the latter's grappling prowess with his own.
Derek Brunson is coming in with a five-fight win streak, with his last fight being a victory via rear-naked choke against Darren Till at UFC Vegas 36. Cannonier's last fight was a controversial unanimous decision victory against Kelvin Gastelum at UFC Vegas 34.
