“Camp has been going great. We finished everything up over the weekend, and now we are just relaxing and getting ready for Friday.”<\/p>\n

Despite this being Mattice’s first fight in front of the camera, the 27-year-old is treating this like any other fight.<\/p>\n

“I am just letting my team handle the scouting of Chinea. We drew up a gameplan based on that, and now I am just going to go in there and execute it.”<\/p>\n

“I just expect a great performance. For the fans that haven’t seen me, they can expect a fighter who can box and can bang. I just want everyone to tune in, and see a great fight. I have a lot of confidence that I will get the job done on Friday.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
