WSOF’s Hakeem Dawodu Wants to Prove He’s The Best

– WSOF’s Hakeem Dawodu recently spoke with mmajunkie.com, here are the highlights…

On Wanting to Prove Himself: “Don’t get me wrong, I like whoever is going to pay me most. But for me, I want to get in the league where I’m going to get the most respect and most definitely be the best 145er. I want people to have no doubt that I’m one of the best, if not the best 145er out there. I’ve been on a tear and I’ve been fighting tough dudes and I’ve been proving them wrong every time. That’s the road I want to take to solidify my position in the whole division.”

On Who He Wants to Fight Next: “I’m definitely ready to fight anybody in the division,” Dawodu said. “I have no doubt in my mind I can put them away and I’m confident even when it’s standing or whether it’s on the ground. Guys keep thinking, ‘I can take Hakeem down and that’s how I’ll beat him.’ That’s not how to beat me any more. I’m confident I can take anybody in the division.”

On When He’ll Fight Next: “They see me getting back in, (WSOF President) Ray Sefo was telling me around June,” Dawodu said. “That’s the last fight on my contract for WSOF. So me and my manager are just sign to sit down and see what’s best for me next and make the wise choice.”
