TRAINING: My training camp has been great for this fight. I train three times daily. I train my striking with Kru Perez, wrestling with my brother Jose, and BJJ with Macaco Patino. I also focus on strength and conditioning daily along with my fight training. I feel great technically, and physically better than ever. I have lots of great sparring partners to simulate Robert’s style, my game plan is in place, and I'm ready to throw down. I’m so excited to fight in Texas.
