“I really like the fight with Khamzat. He won't be able to take me down and hold me on the ground. I'll get up immediately. College wrestling teaches you to work with your hands, look for underhooks, and instantly get back on your feet. He won’t hold me down like in his last fight with Dricus.
After that, it will be a stand-up fight, and I think he will be afraid to stand and fight with me. He doesn’t like being punched in the face. That's why I really like this fight, and I'm looking for the fastest path to it,” said the American fighter in an interview with Submission Radio.
