“I don’t care what people think, although right now they think I’m going to run over this guy and they’re damn right because I’m going to do it,” MMAJunkie quoted the Nigerian as saying. “It’s not an easy fight, but I’ll make it look easy. He’s a tough opponent, but it will look easy. I’ve made a lot of difficult opponents look easy. It’s an easy job. This fight will be no exception.”
“I’m on the warpath and I’m going to finish this man. He’s going to be knocked out. I believe his team will bet on wrestling and he will try to wrestle me and get me in a clinch, but he will fall on his ass again and be knocked out. I don’t take him lightly because a man who can win everything and lose nothing is always very dangerous. So, I take him seriously, but I just know who I am and where I am.”
As a reminder, the middleweight title fight will be the main event of UFC 293, which takes place on September 9 in Sydney.
