Kyle Bochniak Discusses His UFC 223 Fight With Zabit Magomedsharipov

MMAjunkie Radio recently interviewed UFC fighter Kyle Bochniak ahead of his fight with Zabit Magomedsharipov at UFC 223 next weekend. Below are some highlights.

Bochniak on his fight with Brandon Davis at UFC 200: “I had a calming effect on myself, just not overthinking situations, just being more creative. Like more artistic. Being free and doing what I have to do and not having so much tunnel vision. I felt like wherever the fight went, I was cool, calm and collected.”

His thoughts on Magomedsharipov: “All I know is he’s an MMA fighter, he’s got a lot of hype behind him, and I’m not underestimating him. I never underestimate anyone. April 7, I’m going to show up. I’m just trying to take his hype train away and take all his fans and put myself on the map.”

His thoughts on the fight: “I can’t put myself in stupid positions and get out of position too much. I feel like these flashy guys, they’re going to put themselves out of position a lot more than I will. So I’ve just got to be ready, stand in the pocket and throw.”
