This will be their second Vendetta in Vegas. At armfight #44, Tiete fought Dawid Bartosiewicz. He beat the polish fighter 5:1. This time, Eduardo will face Corey Miller from USA, for whom this is also a second Vendetta in Vegas. At his last Vendetta, Corey Miller fought Vazgen Soghoyan and won 5:1.

How is the Brazilian preparing for the event?

I prepared well for the Vendetta #44 and continued to train until Złoty Tur, then I had a break until the 1^st of January – says Tiete. Two weeks before the tournament I had an injury in my right arm, a partial tendon tear. I had 40 days of rehabilitation. Now I feel well and I will be in 100 percent shape for Vendetta # 45.

Corey also takes care of his form.

As I was already supposed to fight Eduardo once before, I just came back to the prerparations I did back then – says Miller. - Eduardo is great in side hook.

I have to be sure to start from inside, gain control and be able to attack. So i focus on that a lot in my training.

They will fight in right arm, 156 - 172 lbs 78 kg Middleweight. Tiete is back to training and is studying Corey's style.

He is very fast and has good back pressure. I will be ready for him! – promises Tiete.

Miller is also focused on Tiete.

I know he is very good in side hook, uses side pressure to beat his opponent. He has smaller arms with strong supination – says Miller. - The last time we were supposed to fight, I suffered a leg injury playing softball. This caused a few months' break, I had a broken ankle and a large hematoma on my calf. I was very disappointed I couldn't fight him, but now I have another chance.

Armfight #45 will take place on 26^th February, at the Sunset Station Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
