John Hathaway Unfazed by Mike Pyle’s Pre-Fight Remarks

Some fighters talk trash; John Hathaway hands out compliments. The 23-year-old kills with kindness, and he does it all in a delightfully genteel accent that almost lulls you into thinking that, once the bell rings, his goal won’t be to punch you in the head until you fall down. Almost.

Take his response to some his opponent’s pre-fight remarks, for instance. While Mike Pyle‘s plan seems to be to downplay Hathaway’s skills and accomplishments ahead of their bout at UFC 120 in London this Saturday night, Hathaway is adopting the opposite approach.

When Pyle says he beat a “lesser Diego Sanchez” at UFC 114?

“That’s just Mike’s opinion,” Hathaway quips. “He’s been saying quite a bit leading up to this fight.”

Mike Pyle: By the Time I’m Done with Hathaway, I’ll Have Some U.K. Fans

For many American fighters, the prospect of heading across the pond to fight a British opponent in the U.K. sounds about as much fun as an IRS audit.

There’s the long flight to deal with, the significant time change, the near certainty that your sponsor’s hat will be stolen off your head during your entrance, and, of course, a hostile crowd that’s unanimously in the other guy’s corner.

But for welterweight Mike Pyle, that only sweetens the deal.

“I love it,” said Pyle, who on Saturday faces up-and-coming British welterweight John Hathaway at UFC 120 in London. “I love that none of the fans are going to like me. That’s great. But I’m telling you, by the time I’m done with him, I’m going to capture some British fans, guaranteed. …And at least they speak English over there.”
