He got in there, faced a top 10, Dan Hooker. Great first victory that propelled him into title contention. This is the route I see myself on. I don't see it any other way. I don't need a warm-up fight. It's not like I've been out of the game for years either. I’m ready to fight now,” said the Brit.
