Henry Corrales spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of his fight with Aaron Pico at Bellator 214 this weekend. Highlights are below:

On the hype around Pico: “He has some amateur credentials, and they’re not to be overlooked. And, at the same time, this dude is (expletive) smashing people. He’s putting people away, so I think it’s justified. No big deal. I like it when guys get attention. That’s (expletive) cool for the sport. That means the sport is doing well and people like it. So it’s all good man…When we got the call, it was just (expletive) exciting, you know? Like, let’s (expletive) do it. We have’t taken preparations lightly for this guy. He’s a serious opponent and we’re (expletive) looking forward to it.”

On not focusing on title shot possibilities: “I just don’t like to put a big focus on things that are out of my control on my mind,” Corrales said. “It can get things a little weird between the ears, so I just keep moving forward and doing what I can.”
