The Sarawak-based fighter told the South China Morning Post:
"Of course, man. Of course. I have family in the U.S. They're in New Mexico. I saw the next fight is going to be in Denver. It's in Colorado. It's easy for my family to go up and watch.
"Of course, if they offer me that fight, I'm going. 100 percent. No doubt."
