He has not shied away from expressing his confidence and believes he can hold his own with Della Maddalena on the feet and impose his will with his wrestling.

"[Della Maddalena] could only strike. That's his only path to victory. Me, I think I'm going to go in there and outstrike him and then for him, he's not going to have a plan B and then that frustration is going to hurt him. That's where inexperience is going to kick in... He didn't have to go through five round fights. And then, it's going to go to that point where he starts drowning and feeling like there's nothing else he could do."

"[The welterweight contenders] have a champion now that's willing to fight anybody. They don't have a champion that's like, 'Oh, wait, let's see how many followers you have... Alright do they have a TikTok?'... I think that's what the older champions used to do. They would look at what's the biggest name. For me, it's like, what's the toughest fight?"
