I feel good and I'm ready in all areas. I will be prepared for whatever comes fight night. "I always expect to bring my best. I'm always working hard to get good results and I want to realize my dream of winning this SFT belt, and proving I belong at the top of my weight class. We're going into this fight in search of a big win and I'm working daily to give MMA fans a good fight."
