“After we’re done here, I’m going to show you this crazy thing I’ve been working on. It’s really cool, I’m going to show you and when you see me using it in a fight, you’re going to be amazed. No one has ever seen it, no one has ever heard of it. It’s a mix of what I’ve learned, with some concepts from Muay Thai and things I’ve been learning in jiu-jitsu,” explained the fighter.
In a recent interview with Megan Olivi on 'ESPN MMA', the now light heavyweight title challenger confirmed that the technique remains under lock and key and could be used for the first time in history during a title fight. UFC 307.
“I definitely have something that no one has ever seen before. When I talked to Joe Rogan I said I planned to do it in my next fight. At the time I didn’t know it would be with Alex Poatán. There are guys in the division that I see this working against 100%. It could be that this move, this technique happens. I'm not going to go out and look for it, but if it happens, everyone will know it was that.”
