Since his UFC debut in 2008, former heavyweight champ Junior Dos Santos has come a long way in multiple fronts.

Not only has he grown technically more well-rounded and mentally more self-confident, the Brazilian heavy-hitter has also gone from barely speaking English to fluently carrying full interviews.

While being a coach opposite ex-champ Brock Lesnar at 2011’s “The Ultimate Fighter 13” probably helped speed up the process, the American Top Team fighter revealed the real secret behind his language skills to our partners at Champions.co.

“I love to watch ‘The Simpsons,'” Dos Santos said. “I started learning English watching ‘The Simpsons.’ Nobody believes that. That’s not a good advice, that’s not a good thing, but that’s how it works.”

The news is not all that surprising coming from the same man who’s also admitted to getting some language help from pop divas like Adele and Katy Perry in the past.

Dos Santos (18-4 MMA, 12-3 UFC) is now set to rematch Stefan Struve (28-8 MMA, 12-6 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 105 at Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, on Feb. 19. The main card will air on FS1.

Don’t believe us about “The Simpsons”? Hear it from Dos Santos himself in the video above.

Just don’t expect him to explain what “D’oh!” means.
