Although a loss is always a hard pill to swallow, Parisian can see the silver lining and the Dana White Contender Series alum took a lot away from the loss.

“There’s so much I took away from it honestly,” Parisian stated. “I know people say this all the time- I obviously want to win but if I had to lose I’m grateful I learned a lot. A couple big things that I got from it is like not anticipating- I did not anticipate him wrestling “

“Then when I started wrestling I was on my back, I don’t know, I was just in my head thinking I did not expect this I did not plan for this and then I didn’t condition for that either, that’s a whole other level of conditioning to wrestle I thought it was going to be a striking thing.”

After achieving some financial freedom outside the cage, Parisian can now fully get back to the roots of his love for the sport and is confident of finishing Baudot.

“I feel like I match up good against him,” he said. “I’m gonna anticipate wrestling, I’m gonna be ready for that. I’ve watched a couple videos and I juts think it’s a good fight for me.

“I honestly think that I will get a knockout, I know everybody says that, but I actually think that I will get a finish.”
