MMAOddsBreaker’s Frank Trigg speaks with UFC 181 bantamweight Matt Hobar as he prepares for his upcoming preliminary card bout against Sergio Pettis tonight (Dec. 6, 2014) at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The talented former Legacy FC bantamweight champion knows he has a tough test ahead of him in the young Pettis, but he feels his improvement in the striking department could be the difference:
“Mainly I was working on a lot of my jiu-jitsu and from the last fight I was working on a lot of my striking. Being that Sergio Pettis is mainly a striker, I wanted to make sure I go into this fight with crisp striking and ready to be able to defend and have good offense with him.”
