Strikeforce heavyweight slugger, Chad Griggs has been giving his thoughts on his upcoming fight this Saturday night with Dutch submission machine, Valentijn Overeem in Dallas, Texas, explaining his game plan will be as usual… forehead down and throw some bombs. Speaking via MMAJunkie.com, Griggs said:
“It’s been a ride. I’m going to take it as far as I can. Forehead down and throw some bombs, see what happens. I think I have put in the work. I’ve been around a long time. It’s paying off now. I think we’ve had some success. People are starting to see me, so we’re going to try and keep the ball rolling.”
“There’s no question that experience plays a big role in the jitters. I think each [fight] you get a little more comfortable, but I think you’re wrong if you’re not nervous, right? Everybody’s nervous. You want to perform and be to the best of your ability. But I think the shows are definitely impressive. They’re big shows, and they’re exciting to be on. I’m happy to be here.”
“I think there’s going to be a lot of heavy leather being thrown. It might end up on the ground, but I think we’re both going to be extremely aggressive. The key point is just keeping the momentum on our side. That’s going to be the key point in this fight.”
“I’ve just got to keep performing, doing my best and keep the fans happy. Ultimately, that’s what [Strikeforce officials] want. They want the fans coming in and buying tickets. Fans can like me and like my style, and I think we’ll be in for a while.”
