Nine finishes, all of my fights by finishing my opponents. I’m a fan favorite, I show up to fight, I have a big heart. I’m not a scared fighter and I believe in myself. It’s all coming together, if no UFC contract is present after this then there is something really wrong. I believe it has to be there.” Sam also talks about a variety of oter topics including – His stint on MTV’s Bully Beatdown – Why Eddie Alvarez has been the biggest influence in his career – Why he left Bellator with a winning record. – How Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles got him into the sport
