The margin for mistake is so little. Anyone can have an excellent night and win that belt. It’s not always one fighter is much better than the other. It’s who’s going to appear battle night in properly and the margin is so thin. I’m ecstatic about it. I believe it’s an excellent battle. I’m a huge fan of Petr Yan.”

It’s simply really fluid right now.”

Due to the fact that less and less you see guys simply going through individuals with physicality. At the larger weight classes, if you’re a freak professional athlete and strike difficult and are extremely aggressive, you can get a long methods.”
