โ€œWe do have some looks that can give us what we need for this particular fight. It was a short notice to take this fight on, especially it being a world title fight, five rounds. โ€œBut we've been preparing for this fight for years now.

We've seen it happen. We've seen that Jiri could be a possible opponent, whether it be for the title or not. He would be someone in my path.
