"I thought about this moment for a long time, thought about that specific phone call for a long time. So right away I'm elated, over the moon excited, but I kind of came down a litlte bit pretty quickly, just because the job's not done,"
"I still won't have those three letters on that glove that night for that fight. So you know there's still work to be done. A good hard training camp and a tough fist fight ahead of me. I'm looking to sign that contract, I'm not resting on my laurels just yet."
"I've been somewhat expecting the call for a while now, just because of my fight style. I knew that I needed to get on a win streak; I went on a three-fight win streak, two KOs in a row, both those KOs were pretty brutal with the knees,"
Damon Wilson experienced mixed emotions upon receiving a Dana White's Contender Series opportunity. He felt elated but immediately refocused because the UFC contract was not guaranteed. Wilson holds a 9-2 record and has recently competed for Cage Warriors, compiling a three-fight win streak with two consecutive knee-strike KOs. He took a short-notice fight and headlined a main event to attract attention. Wilson expects a tough fight against Márcio Barbosa, acknowledges Barbosa's reputation in Brazil, and remains confident about securing victory. A hard training camp and disciplined preparation are priorities ahead of Fight Night.
