With that “Wolverine” expects his foe to be competing with something to prove. However, he has just as much on the line.
The 30-year-old said:
“He’s going to be hungry because last time he got knocked out. Plus, he’s going to be afraid as well. I’m not an easy guy to fight against because I need the win as well, because I’m hungry for the win, too. I’m coming from a very rough situation.
“I’m coming from a very rough part. So, I don’t want to lose at any cost. Like, no matter if my life is gone, I’m ready to give my life for this. I have to win at any cost.”
A competitive force between the two
Mujtaba enters this bout with positive momentum. The AKA and KAKS representative has finished each of his last two opponents inside the opening round – by one knockout and submission apiece.
