AnEsonGib: "I'm here to knock McBroom out and I'm here to win the tournament. I've down about four press conferences with him and three face-to-faces. When I saw him at the open workout he looked tentative and nervous, not as explosive as before. Every time I see him his confidence seems to go down, so it's not looking good for him and I'm coming to bang."
Austin McBroom: "He's confident, he deserves that but it can only go so far. The last contest was the last contest, we've got a new fight this Saturday and that's what I'm looking forward to. My training, sparring and eating has been different, I haven't take any of my fights as serious as this one. This time it's a lot different so I'm locked in."
