“You obviously game plan for every opponent, so we (saw) that he was going to throw a little bit wild punches – big overhand followed by a big left. So we stayed tight – everything down the middle.”
“It feels great to get something I’ve been working for for close to 10 years now, so I couldn’t be happier with the results. That’s just things we worked on. … I knew he was going to be fast, so I dropped a lot of weight for this fight – just changing the diet, changing everything. So I knew that I was faster than him and I knew I could definitely land with a simple 1-2 down the middle.”
“I’ll get back in as soon as I can – get cleared with medicals, get cleared with work, get cleared with the UFC, and whoever wants to throw down in the cage, I’m down.”
