But this is only the beginning for me. I’m 26 years young. I’m not even in my prime yet…we have a tremendous dance partner. He’s wanted this fight for a while and we’ll do our thing.”

Jamaine Ortiz: “There hasn’t been respect. It’s a fight. I’m coming here to take his head off. It is what it is. There is a calm before the storm. you’ve got to know to keep control of your mind and body, especially before you go into battle…I feel like I’m going to be the guy having the clown do whatever I want to do. It’s going to be that kind of show.”
