To develop a little more in the Octagon, to be better and to prepare myself better to be ready to counter strike and always strike back when something happens," Cortes-Acosta told reporters on Wednesday.

""I feel good because I've seen Delija long time ago before I started in professional mma. I follow a lot of tips that he's done in the Octagon before. But this is my territory now, this is my town this is my home I need to protect my legacy I need to protect my level right now. and it'll be a war this Saturday," said Cortes-Acosta."

He feels at home competing at the APEX, citing comfort from family nearby in Arixona and friends in Las Vegas. He views the matchup with Delija as a chance to defend his territory, protect his legacy, and showcase his current level.
