Key Quotes:
“He’s a great champion for a reason, but he knows that I’m a really bad match-up (for him) and I’m a tougher opponent than some people might understand).”
“I’m a pressure-based fighter. I’m going to be walking forward and using my length, mixing up between my takedowns and my punches. I’m not going to be going backwards too much.”
“He’d be a fool not to respect me. When we step into the cage on July 6th he’s going to have respect for me.”
