Fans are expecting fireworks. He\u2019s very smart fighter. But I\u2019ll put my brown belt vs. his black belt, like I did with Gleison Tibau. He\u2019s over at AKA. I haven\u2019t fought them, but I take great pride taking on great teams. This fight ends with a finish. I go in with a finish attitude and come out with a finish attitude.
