After I beat (Charles) Jourdain I was told that I was likely going to fight a ranked guy. Then I got matched up with (Alex) Caceres. When I signed the contract for Caceres he was ranked at the time, but a couple of weeks before the fight he got bounced out of the rankings. I beat him and then was told I was going to get a top 15 guy. I was even told I was going to fight (Edson) Barboza in December, but it never happened.
I just knew (Fernando Padilla) being the finisher he is, I feel like the company still had a lot of hype behind him. I just know I'm due for a ranked guy now. A ranked opponent. I will go anywhere in the world. I will fight anybody, rank me.
Dana’s big on 'earn what you kill.' I feel like I've set myself up for a big fight. I've earned it and I deserve it.
