In an interview with The Schmo, the bantamweight star stated that Thomas Almeida was always his first choice and claimed that the fight was first offered to him on February 13th. However, Almeida wasn't ready at the time.
“Initially, he was my first choice. They offered the fight on February 13, I said ‘hell yeah, let’s do it.’ They came back and said he wasn’t ready, he needed more time to train for the “Suga Show.” I was like ‘I get that, I wouldn’t be ready to fight me, either.’ Then, Nathaniel Wood was talking a little bit on Twitter and I asked for Nathaniel, and they came back and said Thomas would be ready March 27. That is the fight we got and that is the fight that’s happening.”
