“Fights usually go the way I see them, how I plan them out. Very few fights have not gone the way I see them. I see myself finishing Weidman within three rounds.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“It’s gonna be a closer first round. He’s going to be tough, but I’m going to start stuffing his takedowns and threatening him on the ground if need be. We’re going to find our way back to our feet and I’m going to start finding my groove. His pace is going to change and he’s going to start backpedaling and I’m going to start teeing off.”<\/em><\/p>\n
