He said, as per ‘MMA Fighting’, “I was really planning on being backup for Henry-Aljo,” ‘Sugar’ said, “Now we’re at the point where it is so — go and doing a camp, five five-[minute rounds]. Planning on a fight is hard enough to do knowing you have a fight, but knowing you’re probably not going to fight, I can’t train the same way.“
