Fredagens Bellator 134: British Invasion kommer den obesegrade Engelsmannen Liam McGearyatt försöka snuva, nuvarande mästaren i lätt tungvikt, Amerikanen Emanuel Newtons (33-7) bälte.
Den imponerande långa Liam McGeary (198 cm) kan stoltsera med 9 vinster, 5 knockout-vinster samt 4 vinster på submission. McGeary vann Bellator 2014 Summer Series tournament när han besegrade 3 fighters under en 7 minuter kort period.
I en intervju med Hunter Homistek för Bleachreport.com, visade McGeary ett extremt lugn inför mötet;
”A belt is just a belt,” sa McGeary. ”It’s just another fight. I’m going to go out and do my work.”
”I don’t really have to get mentally prepared for a fight. If somebody were to square off with me, I’d pretty much fight them there and then…I just go out there and have fun. Whatever happens happens. If I catch something, I catch something.”
”He’s never fought a fighter like me before. He’s never fought anyone who’s going to bring the nastiness and the ferocity that I bring. He’s brought out a side of me that I didn’t even know was there. It’s pure nastiness. Yeah…he’s in for a tough night.”
”When you can stand and fight with 30 people and still, with a broken wrist, still put your middle finger up as you’re walking away from fighting them all, then you know you can fight. I just learned how to do my thing, get my tools, get my talent, and then bring that over here.”
Inför sammandrabbningen med Newton måste McGeary tappa 2 kilo innan han kliver upp på vågen, för att sedan möta Newton i en oerhört spännande match.
