I think Colby’s the easiest matchup in this division. I’ll piece him up on the feet. I’ll ragdoll him. But I would like to fight Ian. He’s an up and comer. I’m a little bit older than him. But I’m gonna be here for a long time. He’s undefeated, he’s got some hype. Before he said, ‘I won’t fight guys who are ranked behind me.’ I’m gonna be ranked ahead of him on Tuesday with that No.6 spot. So yeah, maybe I’ll let him fight me.”
