Mike Kyle, who is coming off a heavyweight loss to Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva in which he scored a knockdown in the first, talks about the upcoming number one contender light heavyweight fight against Gegard Mousasi on April 9th on Showtime:
“I really hope (Gegard Mousasi) thinks’ his kickboxing is that good. He’s never been tested by anyone with my boxing abilities, same with my kickboxing. He’s never been hit with someone with a heavyweight punch and I plan on putting that to the test.”
“I want that belt. It’s all about Mousasi and I’m not going to come up short. April 9th, this is going to be the fast, furious Mike Kyle, that’s not going to take no for an answer. I look forward to working with the UFC. God bless.”
