Khama Worthy was scheduled to fight at the troubled UFC 249 event at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. At the time he was to face Ottman Azaitar, and then he was to fight Michael Johson. Unfortunately, both fights fell through which led ‘The Deathstar’ to cool his heels in the sidelines for a couple more months. Now he will fight Luis Pena on the Preliminary card of UFC on ESPN 12.

‘The Deathstar’ acknowledged that the fight is tricky given the fact that he faces a tall southpaw fighter. However, he says he has prepared well for that combination too as he aims to go 2-0 in the UFC. 

When probed about what fans can expect from this fight, ‘The Deathstar’ named another fight. Following that, he requested fans to back off and not overhype a fight such an extent that a good fight seems underwhelming. To prove his he highlights the UFC 248 co-main event between Israel Adesanya and Yoel Romero. 

“The Black Beast vs Francis Ngannou, stop anticipating s**t and let s**t happen. Don’t be putting pressure on us. You gotta perform you gotta be this.” He continued, “Listen we go out there. You’re gonna get a good fight. Sometimes like the Adesanya-Romero fight, people put so much on fights and if it’s not as they think they are like ‘aw this s**t sucks.'”

He claimed that fans booed his last fight and once more promised that fans will get an interesting and fun fight.
