Luiz Carlos Dorea (Pictured), who trains Junior dos Santos, in a recent interview with Sherdog.com on the idea of Brock Lesnar taking down his protégé when they meet in the UFC 131 headliner in June 11 in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada:

“The hard part for him will be finding the right distance for it and being able to defend himself from dos Santos’ attacks. Dos Santos is very blunt with his punches, and that’s certainly Lesnar’s weak point. Dos Santos’ strength is striking. For Lesnar to close the distance and take him to the ground, he has to defend himself against dos Santos’ hands, which are quick and effective. I feel very secure. Brock is a very strong rival and a great wrestler, but I’m confident in the knockout.”
