Matt Mitrione (9-3) tar sig an ben Rothwell (34-9) på UFC 188 och Mitrione känner att han har utvecklats och blivit en riktigt bra fighter.
Mitrione känner att det inte är många fighters som kan vinna över honom.
”I feel like there is not many people in the world that can beat me,” sa Mitrione på The MMA Hour. ”On any given day I feel like I can beat anybody in the world. With my training partners, with coach Henry, coach Greg Jones down in Florida; and honesty with Glenn Robinson who allows me to go down there and train and work with the Blackzilians and get better. Coach Neil Melanson came down and worked with me, Struve, Anthony Johnson, Rashad, Rico Verhoeven; all these dudes. I’ve just been fortunate with all these people that we’ve all worked hard and got better.
Mitrione tycker att han har utvecklats på alla områden inom kampsport.
”I feel like I’m really damn good right now. I feel like I’ve been really good for the last little bit, and I feel like I’m only getting better. Like this camp, all my training partners, my coaches, even Chris — my mentor — but is extremely honest with me. They’re like, ’Look dude, you look better than you’ve ever looked before.’ Takedown defense, striking, creativity wise, grappling, transitions, everything. I feel like I’m better than I’ve ever been. I’m not brand new, I’m not new and improved, I’ve just gotten better overall, every single time,” sa Mitrione.
