– Tyler King recently spoke with mmajunkie.com about his fight with Amir Aliakbari at Rizin FF 6, here are the highlights…

On The Fight: “This is the fight that I pursued. This guy – he’s a fugazi. I want to expose him. I’m being a little harsh, but you look at a guy like that and he hasn’t been tested. Every time he’s been tested, he’s either folded or does nothing but go for a takedown, gets a crucifix and finishes it out. He’s not an exciting fighter and he hasn’t fought any tough competition.”

On Their Twitter War: “Three months ago, people say I started this Twitter beef or Twitter war,” he said. “There’s no Twitter war. This is a fight I wanted and pursued. This is a fight I made happen. This fight happened because of me. Amir hasn’t done anything.”

On His Goal: “Now I’m going to go out there and take what’s rightfully mine and assume my spot among the upper echelon of heavyweights.”
