Ahead of the bout, Souza is happy about the fact that for the first time in his life, he does not have to cut down on a large amount of weight for his fight.

Souza also said that he is wary of talking too much ahead of the fight like Luke Rockhold, who got knocked out of his wits with a vicious left hook by Blachowicz at UFC 239.

The 39-year-old Brazilian, Souza joins a host of fellow middleweights like Rockhold, Chris Weidman and Anthony Smith in making the move up to light heavyweight, but unlike most of them who failed to achieve any success at the new weight class, Souza plans to shock the world by beating Blachowicz and embarking on a new venture at light heavyweight.
