Exclusive: Pedro Munhoz is all set for Cody Garbrandt
UFC 235: Jones vs Smith promises to be UFC's biggest and most exciting card of 2019 so far.
The main card will have two title fights in the main event and the co-main event, where Jon Jones defends his UFC Light Heavyweight Title against Anthony Smith, and Kamaru Usman makes a bid for Tyron Woodley's UFC Welterweight Title
Also on the main card, will be Pedro Munhoz vs Cody Garbrandt. While Garbrandt tries to bounce back following his dual losses at the hand of TJ Dillashaw, Pedro Munhoz will be looking to pick up a few more wins to continue his good run.
I had the chance to pose a few questions before Pedro Munhoz ahead of his UFC 235 fight against Cody Garbrandt.
Tune in to Sony Six and Sony Six HD for all the main card action from UFC 235: Jones vs Smith at 8:30 AM.
Q. Heading into a fight against an Ex-Champ like Cody Garbrandt, what are your thoughts like?
PM: He’s great, that was the fight that I was looking for, I am very excited to be fighting Cody. Former Champ, number 1.
You know all my fights in the UFC are tough fights and I overcame them. This time I have all my team here supporting me, all the team that was a part of my training camp so come Saturday night it’s going to be another knockout or submission.
I feel great, I had a great camp at American Top Team, I am ready. Where ever the fight goes, whether it is standing or on the ground, I will be ready to do my best.
Q. If there is one fighter you could challenge in the UFC right now, who would that be?
PM: I can’t even look that far into the future. My focus, my goal is Saturday night against Cody. He’s a tough opponent, I can’t even think that far so let’s get past Saturday and then I will start thinking about the next challenge.
