Brazilian jiu-jitsu start Rodolfo Vieira knows what the easiest path to a win against heavy-handed striker Chris Curtis is at UFC Vegas 57. Nonetheless, that does not mean the grappler has no faith in his stand-up skills.
In an interview with Combate, Rodolfo explained he does intend to take down Curtis should the opportunity present itself. However, Vieira is confident he can hold his own on the feet and even land the better strikes.
After puling out from a bout against Wellington Turman due to medical reasons back in January, when Vieira was diagnosed with a malformation in the brain, the Brazilian is just happy to be back.
