"Look… when a fighter begins either to lose, or not to get satisfactory results, what does he do to promote himself? He talks. And it is what he's doing," a laughing Dos Santos told Fighters Only.
"Frank Mir is a guy who likes to talk a lot, talks lots of bulls**t and I don't believe he hits harder than me. He certainly may hit hard - he is a heavyweight, a former champion and it is not to be underestimated - but he also is very talkative.
"And regarding revenge for Nogueira's loss [to Mir], it's not even a factor. I think I would fight Mir any day - if he qualifies himself to face me because, thanks to God, I am a bit ahead of him.
"But if one day he qualifies, I will fight him with pleasure and will give 100 per cent of myself to win the fight and he would feel who would hit harder."
