"I'm not really thinking about exactly how the fight with Vera is going to go. I'm just going to fight this dude. I'm sure I have better skills than him and better speed. I have certain strategies for this fight. I plan to bet on kickboxing, but we'll still fight in MMA.
I learned a lesson from the fight with Petr Yan. Then I expected a kickboxing fight, but I forgot about what would happen if I started to take it apart. The fact that he's going to wrestle at that point. This is a fight according to the rules of MMA, and that's how I will treat it," said the American on his YouTube channel.
