I feel that taking that loss taught me a lesson, and now my diet as well as training Is on another level. I have a good team behind me, and the goal is to enter the conversation of fighting for a regional title in the near future. I know a lot of the titles are vacant currently at my division, so I’m looking to throw my name in the hat with this performance. I want the world take notice of me in this fight.” “I am excited about this opportunity, and I am ready to shock the world at a new weight class,” stated an upset-minded Jose Angulo. “I think that I have been fighting at weights that don’t show my true skill level, but now I am ready to prove the type of fighter I am. I came to the United States to make my dream a reality. Now, this is a chance for me to steal all the momentum that George Acosta has created for himself.
