Speaking via UFC.com, Castillo said:“He’s a talented guy and I know that, but no one else knows that because the only thing they know about him is that he wants to fight Obama. When I told people who I was fighting, I would say I’m fighting Jacob Volkmann. They would say, who is Jacob Volkmann? And I would say, you know the guy that wants to fight Obama? Ooooh that guy. It’s kind of annoying, but I don’t really care what other people think. I only care what I think and I think I’m going to win. I’m hyped up for this fight.”
“I think my standup is going to be showcased and I think I’m going to surprise a lot of people with my strength and conditioning program. I don’t care how long he has had to prepare, I think we’ve had 10 weeks or so for this fight camp, I don’t think he will have turned himself into a dynamic fighter. I feel like if all I have to worry about is his wrestling, then I’m a happy man. I can really let loose in this fight and really showcase what I have to offer.”
“After I beat up Jacob Volkmann, that’s not just for me, that’s for so many people: my friends and family, my teammates, my massage therapist, my chiropractor, my hypnotherapist, my sports psychologist. There are a lot of people who invest a lot of time and energy into me, and when I win on August 14th that is going to be my thank you to them.”
Both men are on a three-fight winning streak with Castillo notching wins over Dustin Poirier and Will Kerr while with the WEC and a win over Joe Stevenson on his octagon debut. As for Volkmann, the controversial grappler picked up a split decision win over Ronys Torres and Antonio McKee with a unanimous decision win over Paul Kelly sandwiched between them.
