LONDON – UFC newcomer Fabio Maldonado admits he couldn’t help but laugh when he first read the pre-fight comments from his UFC 120 opponent, James McSweeney.
Earlier this month, the brash British striker said he believes the Brazilian is tailor-made to his style and likely will be dispatched in “Knockout of the Night” fashion.
“Even a macaw can talk,” Maldonado said. “He’s right about this fight being the ‘Knockout of the Night,’ but he will be on the receiving end, and I will get the money.”
