When asked about how he envisioned the fight going, 'The Highlight' said:
"He fights the same as I do. We both bring fireworks from the beginning. I know he's going to try to finish it first round but he's going to turn into a wrestler real quick, talking about taking steps backwards. We'll see who's the b**ch when je starts shooting for legs."
