Godofredo Pepey Wants To Give Fans a Show at UFC on FOX 25

– Godofredo Pepey (13-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) recently spoke with , here are the highlights…

On Wanting a Main Event: “Soon I’ll be headlining my own event. I’ve been in the UFC for five-and-a-half years. I deserve to be in the main event. I am sure I can beat anyone they put in front of me.”

On Tonight’s Fight: “My team already let me know what I need to do against Shane Burgos,” he said. “He is someone who looks to fight at distance, at boxing range. He’s versatile, but I don’t think his jiu-jitsu measures up to mine. I’m training in every facet. I’m working on my boxing. I’m sharpening my muay Thai in Curitiba at Evolucao Thai. I’m sparring with various partners who can emulate his style. Nothing he brings can surprise me. I hope no one blinks. You’ll see a Godofredo Pepey who’s completely ready, with top conditioning. It will be an honor to face him on his home turf. I’ll get to know New York, and fight in the United States one more time. I’ll give the fans a show. Don’t blink. I’ll be like a joker in a deck of cards.”

On His Future: “I believe that going forward, there will be even more bonuses and more spectacular fights,” he said. “I’m prepared. I’m ready. I’m in a great team. I sought to improve my mindset, my body, my muay Thai, my jiu-jitsu and my wrestling. I’m a complete athlete now. As I’ve said in past interviews, I can finish anyone in my weight class. It would be no surprise to me or my coaches.”
