"I hope Lewis gets the win, dude. I love that guy, man. Like, maybe me and him can go to Popeyes together, someday, get some chicken. 'Cus I love to eat too. So I hope I get to meet him, dude, because he's like one of my favorite fighters there is, you know what I mean... I love Derrick Lewis, man, I hope he brings home the win."

When Hunsucker faces off against Justin Tafa, his goal will be to stop 'Bad Man' from reaching the final horn. Similar to Hunsucker, all of Tafa's wins have come via finishes, which will likely result in a brutal stoppage for one man.

Harry Hunsucker is confident he will be the heavyweight left with his hand raised at the end of the bout. He told Sportskeeda:

"I'm not a decision fighter. You know what I mean? I've never been to a decision and I don't plan on going there. I fight for finishes, you know what I mean? And if it goes to a decision then that's that. So be it. But I'm not the type of guy to get out there and point fight for three rounds, you know."
