Corey Anderson Has Had Enough Of Haters
Ahead of his potentially career-defining moment, Corey Anderson has sent a message to those who are hating on him. Here’s what he said during the pre-fight press conference (h/t MMAMania.com).
“People can say what they want to say but I beat the UFC champion, handily on two weeks’ notice. There wasn’t one scorecard that went his way. So what are you saying?”
“Yeah, I got knocked out, people get knocked out, and you can get caught by Jan. But you go back and watch that fight I did against him in my fifth or sixth fight, ever, I milked him like a cow.
“It was the easiest fight I ever had, to be honest. I was taking him down left and right. Now I did go out there with a cocky mindset in my last fight, playing games and thinking like I already beat his dude before, and it cost me. If I go out there serious and do what I do, I am untouchable.”
