"I felt different power (in the 77 kgs.), I never lost the timing. I think once I hurt him, the fight changed. I managed to hurt him and almost finish him", said James Llontop about his victory over Zebroski, which earned him the FFC title.

James considered this to be the most important victory of his career. "On some occasions I felt less favored, but not this time. Since I joined the team, that doesn't happen anymore. It didn't go against me either", he said.
