“I think he’s average."
"I've been calling for this fight since 2022. This is a great opportunity, and I hope it is sold out. 20,000 fans bullying me is going to turn me on."
"This is something that I've dreamed about. This is a fight that I've been waiting for my whole career. I've worked hard to get here, just like him, so let's get it on.
"I feel like my whole career, I've been the underdog. Even when I'm the favourite, I think I've been overlooked. People are finally getting to see who Barboza is.
"On February 15th, my hand will be raised and that belt will come with me. I'm overall a better fighter than him.
"He can call me a B-class fighter, but the only thing special about him is that he is a lefty. But we'll find out. We can talk, but we'll find out."
