MMAjunkie<\/a>. \u201cThat says to me like he\u2019s going to try to go in there and kill me. He wants to do that, so I\u2019m definitely going to make him eat every one of his words. He\u2019s going to be eating through a straw for a couple of months after we fight.\u201d<\/p>\n“No Love” will put his perfect 9-0 record on the line against veteran Takeya Mizugaki next weekend in Sin City. The fight will serve as the featured bout of the UFC 202 prelims.<\/p>\n
Garbrandt explained how he feels that a victory over Mizugaki should put him ahead of former training partner TJ Dillashaw in the UFC bantamweight title picture:<\/p>\n
\u201cRaphael Assuncao was out for however long he was out, and T.J., he won the fight but didn\u2019t really look impressive,\u201d Garbrandt said. \u201cI thought he just fought safe and fought to win. You put Raphael Assuncao in front of me, I knock him out. Same thing with T.J.<\/p>\n
\u201c(Cruz) got a title shot after beating Takeya, so why don\u2019t I? I have had two straight first-round knockouts. I\u2019m undefeated. I\u2019m an exciting fighter. I\u2019m the most talked about fighter in my division. I think that fight between me and Dominick stylistically is what people want to see. He knows that. \u2026 It\u2019s hard to deny me. I\u2019m going in there and knocking guys out and calling my shot and calling what round I\u2019m knocking them out.\u201d<\/p>\n
