I\u2019m going to come prepared and I\u2019m going to put on a show. I\u2019ve never lost at MGM Grand and I don\u2019t plan on starting now.

I\u2019m always ready for a fight and facing Adrien is definitely going to be a challenge, but I\u2019ve watched his career, even in the amateurs and I know he can be beat. I\u2019m also looking forward to fighting at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
