A lot of Peruvians here in New York. A lot of people hitting me up, asking for tickets and it's crazy what happens here in New York. Llontop feels incredibly excited and honored to represent Peru at UFC 309, especially in a city with a significant Peruvian community, underscoring the cultural connection and support he feels from his fellow nationals.
He's a tough fighter, somebody who's got great results, but I'm coming with a different mentality, different kind of energy, different preparation for this fight. Llontop acknowledges the challenge posed by his opponent Mauricio Ruffy but insists he is approaching the fight uniquely, ready to showcase the strength and resilience of Peruvian fighters.
When we got the call, this was a call that we can't deny, we cannot say 'no' to an opportunity like this. And here we are, ready for this fight on Saturday. Llontop reflects on his readiness and commitment to taking on the fight on short notice, emphasizing the importance of seizing opportunities in the UFC.
A fighter does not lose, a fighter learns. I think that fighting in the UFC is different, and I think that because of the preparation that we had specifically for this fight, I think I'm coming in with something different. Llontop highlights his growth mindset in the face of previous losses, viewing them as learning experiences rather than failures, and expresses confidence in his preparation for the upcoming fight.
