At the ONE Championship and Amazon Prime joint press conference, the former Muay Thai world champion was asked what he has planned for the upcoming bout. He answered:

"The next fight is going to be a good one. I'm intrigued to see what my opponent brings. But I'm going to show you I can bring some spinning elbows and maybe even a stoppage."

In an interview, Naseri explained what his plans are for ONE Circle. He said:

"My style is to just hurt my opponent, and I don't like to play around with them. I believe my style is a bit more aggressive and stronger, and I believe that I can beat him."
