Josh Emmett redo för Lerone Murphy

Nu till helgen kommer två av UFC:s fjäderviktare att mötas i oktogonen. Josh Emmett (19-4) tar sig an den obesegrade engelsmannen Lerone ”The Iceman” Murphy (15-0-1) i en kamp på galans huvudkort. Inför matchen har Emmett lovat fansen att det kommer bli en underhållande kamp de två emellan.

Ingen tråkig match

I en intervju nyligen förklarar Josh Emmett att hans uppkommande match med Lerone Murphy kommer bli underhållande att titta på. Han är även självsäker på en seger, då han anser att Murphy inte har den refarenhet som krävs för att slå honom.

I’ve never been in a boring fight. I know what the UFC wants to see. I know what the fans want to see. They are excited when I’m on a card because with every strike I throw, I’m trying to end the fight. I don’t think I have to go out there and make a statement, but I’m going to.

The goal is to be a world champion; that is always the goal. Murphy wasn’t the original opponent that I wanted because he is behind me. It’s a high risk for really no reward. But, at the end of the day, I’ve never turned a fight. I’ve always fogut these fights, I’ve fought the best in the world. So I should be able to go out there, handle business, and see what’s next.

I know he says he’s been working on his weaknesses, hence be his grappling and his wrestling. I have seen some improvement in his later fights, I know he says he’s still learning on the job. There’s no learning on the job when you’re in there with me.

We will see, he’s good, but he’s never fought anybody like me. I know he thinks he has fought someone similar to me, but no one that he has fought is even close to me. He’s going to be in for a rude awakening on Saturday night.

Murphy ser sig dock vinna kampen med Emmett. Skulle det vara fallet, hoppas han på att få en titelutmaning i sitt nästa oktogonframträdande.

It’s a massive challenge. Biggest challenge of my career so far, but I’m ready for that and I’ve trained hard for this. So the outcome will be the outcome. That’s it. Simple as that. I didn’t ask for this fight for no reason. I asked for the fight because I know Josh Emmett’s a warrior, I know how good he is and I know that’ll bring the best out of me.

Ilia Topuria went on to fight for the title after Josh Emmett, so for me, this is a No. 1 contender fight. I feel like behind Lopes and Volkanovski, who are fighting the week after, I think this is the best fight in the division. For me, this is the No. 1 contender fight. I’m looking forward to it.
