UFC lightweight prospect, Curt Warburton has been giving his thoughts on his upcoming fight against former WEC star, Maciej Jewtuszko at UFC 127 on February 27th in Sydney, Australia, explaining this is the perfect opportunity for him to grasp redemption after losing last time out inside the octagon.Speaking via UFC.com, Warburton said:
“All I’ve seen is what’s on Youtube and he’s very unorthodox and unpredictable. He’s a southpaw and I keep getting southpaws for some reason and I hate them. (Laughs) But I’ve just got to go out there and do a job. I’m gonna stand and trade with him and see what he’s got. I’m pretty strong for my weight and if he starts causing too many problems with him being too unorthodox, I think if I get him down, I can’t see him getting back up.”
“From what I’ve seen of him, he doesn’t know what he’s doing himself until the last minute. Jumping scissor knees, jumping scissor kicks, spinning elbows. With him being so unorthodox, he leaves himself open and his guard’s down, so he’s there for the taking, but I have to go in range really tight because he could pull something out from nowhere. But if it comes to the point where we go into the clinch, I think I’ll be able to take him down quite easily.”
“I’ve had a good training camp for this fight, so hopefully I can put a good performance on because I want to be fighting in the UFC and the only way to do that is to win.”
Warburton made his UFC debut in October, losing out to veteran, Spencer Fisher on the judges scorecards after winning the first round. Prior to that he’d scored a win over Ross Pearson on the local circuit in the UK. Stay tuned to MMABay for more build-up to this one as we get it.
