today I really wanted more than anybody else and that’s why I’m here right now and he has left no stone unturned he never does he lives and breatheses he’s an animal I mean the dude fights so hard he’s constantly training constantly learning constantly growing I always push myself because when I wasn’t here I will give my life to be where I am right now and now that I’m in this position I will get my life to be a world champion so that’s why I keep getting better shot I came to the sport to be a world champion I have the heart I have the more ethic I now have the people that will get me there I will keep working I will keep kicking ass I’m Ecuador I’m gonna be a world champion for Corey sandhagen it’s about the art of fighting I like to show people that I’m good by fighting not by telling people that I’m really good so when I start hearing that Cheeto deserves a title shot over me that gives me a big trip on my shoulder I do think that I fight really well when I have something to prove and I feel like people are almost counting me out so I’m really excited to remind people that I can be a World Champ this kid has it all he sets things up he moves so well he’s tall for the division he’s a sniper and he’s gonna be a problem for a long time a win over this guy this massive for my career for myself from my country right now I’m as ready as it gets I’m feeling good I’m
