Arce is started to reach the end of his training camp and plans to take a minor rest before going back to camp to begin training for Morel.
"The only thing on my mind is to beat Santos, who is a is a brave and strong fighter. I do not trust anything [as being easy]. I'm risking a lot, but the most important thing is to show the public a great fight and to also be victorious because I expected to move up in weight to challenge for a title in a fourth weight division," Arce said.
