“I'm here to win. There are two other categories I would love to fight in. I weighed 69,4 kg at the weigh-in [of the UFC Mexico] and he was wearing pants. I can get down to 66 kg and beat everyone there. I can go back to 70 kg, knock everyone out and finish them off. And you can be sure that I can go to 77 kg and do the same. I want to be champion of several categories”, said the American, according to the website “MMA Junkie”.
