UFC Fight Night 139

UFC fighter Mike Trizano recently spoke to reporters in a media scrum (via MMAjunkie) ahead of UFC Fight Night 139. He faces Luis Pena at the fight card in Denver, Colorado later today. Below are some highlights.

Trizano on facing Pena: “It’s just another fight, man. I’m just excited to be here. I treat every fight like it’s a step up, and it always is. It just gets tougher and tougher, so I’ve just got to keep improving myself and training hard and kicking butt – that’s it.”

Trizano on learning from his fights: “I learn from every single one of my fights, so I always go back, watch my previous fight, see what I can make better and just overall improve my game. I mean, you can’t predict what’s going to happen in a fight. People can say, ‘Oh, it’s going to end this way, it’s going to end that way,’ but it’s unpredictable. You’ve got be ready for anything. I’m always ready for anything, so I can go anywhere at anytime.”

His thoughts on Pena: “He definitely has a big advantage on reach. He’s like a Sasquatch, but I really think that’s the only advantage he has: the length and the reach – but, just close the distance and hit him hard.”
