I think it's a good fight. This feels like my first real test in the UFC, so I'm excited. I love that, I love the idea of being the underdog.
I think the coaches thing isn't a big deal... There’s a lot of good coaches everywhere, so that doesn’t really faze me too much.
It feels even more relaxed. I'm getting more comfortable with it, so it feels even more like an Apex event... I'm more relaxed, more calm.
