On Pennington’s ambitions in the fight: “All the game plans she has in her mind, I know. Because I’ve been there before. I was a challenger. I was the underdog. I fought with somebody I had to pressure to get the fight done. I know how to read my opponent. I know how to adjust my game inside the cage, and I know how to break somebody mentally.”

On Pennington: “I know she’s going to step into the cage and she’s going to pressure me. All my opponents look at my fights and want to pressure me. She’s going to try to exhaust me. But nothing’s going to change the result.”
