“I don’t really feel like a middleweight, honestly, especially when I’m making that weight cut. It feels like a long ways away when I first start. It gets more miserable the closer I get. I still haven’t settled in. It’s been a hard cut for me every time I’ve done it and I expect it to be a hard cut again, but I believe middleweight is where I belong. I’ve had some success and I’m looking to keep that success going with a win over [Yushin] Okami and then certainly a shot at whoever’s next in line. I believe I’m a middleweight, but it doesn’t feel very good being there.”
