Mads Burnell Discusses His Bout With Arnold Allen

MMAjunkie recently spoke to Mads Burnell ahead of his upcoming bout with Arnold Allen set for Sunday at UFC Fight Night 130. The fight is set for tomorrow in Liverpool, England. Below are some highlights.

Burnell on beating Mike Santiagoe for his first UFC win: “Especially this win, it made my confidence grow. t was possibly the hardest fight I’ve ever had – it felt like I was dying after one and a half minutes. So it showed to myself that even though I feel like falling over and dying … I can still keep on going and grind out a win. That was a very good win for me.”

his thoughts on Arnold Allen: “I think he’s a very athletic dude, very wild. But I don’t think he’s that technical – standing, grappling or wrestling. But he’s very wild and athletic. He’s a very raw fighter, and I’m more slick. That’s how I see it. The plan is just to come through blazing – half man, half amazing. I can’t do anything else but that.”
