Wilson Reis Not Worried About Shorter Training Camp For His Title Shot at UFC on FOX 24

Wilson Reis spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of his fight with Demetrious Johnson at UFC on FOX 24. Some highlights are below:

On Johnson’s fight with Tim Elliot: “I didn’t watch it live, and a lot of people were calling me and telling me Demetrious didn’t look that good. When I watched the fight, I felt Tim Elliott had a different style than everybody else and he gave Demetrious a tough first round. There wasn’t a lot of weaknesses, and he showed better jiu-jitsu in that fight than I expected. He did show some weaknesses on the feet and had to fall back on his wrestling.”

On getting the title fight: “I asked for the fight right after I fought at UFC 208, and pretty much a week after that fight we started talking about it with the UFC. I knew it was coming soon. It was a shorter camp than usual, but it doesn’t matter because I just came back from a fight and I wasn’t injured or anything.”
