The popular 'Funk Master' spoke about the fight against Cejudo and gave his opinion about his opponent. "It's a good challenge. I think I have my hands full, but I think the work we did [in training camp] should be more than enough to put this guy back into retirement. I really believe that. He's a despicable guy. I think he's socially awkward. Besides that, as a competitor, I respect him and everything he brings... He's a weird guy. I don't look past him. I think he's underestimating me. And if he does, that will be his downfall on May 6," he pointed out.
