“Yeah, I imply, it’s like a milestone in my profession, proper? Like, preventing a legend comparable to Simon, I grew up watching him combat. I keep in mind coaching for my first beginner combat ever. It was like an beginner Muay Thai combat and watching him combat in a important occasion Glory [card] for the title. So, this is sort of a dream come true, proper?”
“Apart from attending to the UFC, that is like the subsequent neatest thing for now. So, I’m like I’m excited. I’m simply amped to have the ability to get this chance and to have the ability to take a look at him as a result of he’s a world champion in kickboxing. Bt , we haven’t fairly seen him in MMA aside from his three fights which he’s clearly dominated. So, I’m simply excited to check him.”

Poulter represents the stiffest take a look at that Marcus has confronted in an MMA context up to now, and when delving into what he brings to the desk that Marcus’ prior opponents weren’t capable of, and describing the type of resistance that’s going to satisfy ‘The One’ on February twentieth, Bobby Poulter said [via MMA Canada],
“I simply assume he’s had three fights and he’s had the three excellent fights for a man who’s making an attempt to transition MMA. However what I carry to the desk is someone who’s a full-time athlete who prepared for the UFC now. Like that is, , I’m not younger in my profession. I’ve been on this for a decade. Like that is truthfully in all probability the worst combat for him primarily based on my fashion…. Taking this combat in opposition to me was, , it’s ultimate. It’s ultimate for each of us as a result of a win for both of us places us proper at that subsequent stage.”
