“I wanted to fight before the end of the year, and I got it really fast (with this one on 10 days’ notice). They’ve been booking out pretty far (ahead) – November, December. I was like, ‘If I don’t book a fight, I might not get it till next year.’ … I’m in pretty good health – a little banged up. … I can’t think about what’s after Jourdain until I beat Jourdain.
“I was trying to get a fight for a while and I called out that Steven Peterson kid, and I posted on my Instagram. I even direct messaged him and posted a picture. I was trying to fight him, and he called out Nate Landwehr after his win over Chase Hooper. But Nate Landdwehr got booked up in October. … But I would still want to fight Steven Peterson. I think it’s a great opponent for me. But I want to fight him now more because I felt it was disrespectful that he just ignored me.”
