“I think I’ve still got some work to do. I still gotta prove myself. I still gotta continue to build on what I’ve done right now, but if I had to step back and be a fan, I’d say, yeah, man. Deep down in my bones, I believe I can beat anybody in the lightweight division: Bellator, UFC or World Series of Fighting. Anybody. I can beat them. I genuinely believe that all the way down to my core. I just have to keep working to get better.

“I think people are seeing that. They’re seeing that I’m getting better every single fight, not just as a fighter, but as a person. I think I’m putting it on display that I’m not just top 10 the fighter, but top 10 a person. I’m doing the best I can.”

In a recent interview with MixedMartialArts.com‘s Chris Palmquist, Bellator lightweight champion, Will Brooks discusses his place among the world’s elite.

Do you agree with his assessment?
