“I feel like a beast at 185 … It’s almost like cheating when I step into the cage.”
“It’s both speed and timing. …[Kendall Grove] He’s really tall so he’s going to want to keep me away. He’s going to want to keep me away as much as possible with straight kicks, by establishing his jab and working his angles.”
“I’ve been learning to approach the game with a Mike Tyson type of pressure, slipping and parrying and catching kicks and looking for takedowns.”
“I liken it to a conversation. We’re both trying to talk and the person that talks the loudest gets heard. I want him listening to me. I’m going to be talking the whole time. I’m going to run the conversation.”
