I was begging right after the fight. I didn’t have a single injury, I wanted to go again in two or three months and chain things together. I’m better when I’m consistently fighting and I feel like I can get out of this one unscathed too and go again in the Fall.

Against de Andrade, I know I can outwrestle him, I know that I’m faster than him on the feet, I know I will see the big shots coming. I think I can pick him apart for 15 minutes or I can take him down and get him out of there early. We will see.
