Like a man possessed his goal is singular, be a champion. His mantra is that of a champion “I am the best and I will out wrestle the wrestler, I will out box the boxer, and will out fight the fighter,” which has been evident in his 7-fight win streak. He went on to say in an interview recently that he trains with lions, those lions include Former 2x UFC Champion Dominic Cruz and NCAA Wrestling Champion Roman Bravo-Young.

With longtime coaches in his corner Brendan steps in the Octagon against Movlid Khaybulaev who has a formidable record and fight camp. However, this is event should be his most formidable and skilled athlete that he has ever faced in the octagon. Both fighters respect each other, but all pleasantries are out of the way and now, on August 27th it will be settled under the lights.
