“It was an uphill battle, but I knew where I was going. (He’s a) two-time LFA champion – the LFA is a respected organization. He’s tough everywhere. He’s a (jiu-jitsu) black belt, he has Four knockouts. His last opponent, he knocked him out. But I don’t think he and I punched in the foot.”

“I’m in great shape. I’m ready. I’ve proven to anyone, anytime, anywhere. Credson Rodriguez quit six days ago. They gave me an opponent and that was Carlos Motta , I said, “I don’t care. “I messaged Dana White and said, ‘It doesn’t matter who you put out there, man. We’re fighting. This is how I feed my family. This is what I do. I don’t have a plan B. This is an A plan.”
