What people are saying
I respect anyone willing to step into the Trigon. But come fight night, it’s all business. David Winiarski is coming for my title, and I’m going to make him earn every bit of it. I’ll be ready from the opening bell, and on December 19, I plan to remind everyone why I’m the champion.
I asked for this fight, and now that I’ve got it, I’m not going to waste the opportunity. Nelson is a great champion, but I believe in myself, and I’m coming to BKB 63 ready to take that belt,
