EVQ says Combate LHW division similar to circus

 

Ahead of his potential main event bout at C313, Queiroz (23-3 MMA, 6-1 Combate) admits the matchup vs. Hiroshima Nagasaki (22-10 MMA, 1-1 Combate) didn’t enthuse him when offered. However, with all of the other contenders matched up, it’s just what the state of the division had available.

 

What’s at stake, though, beyond a bounce-back fight from injury? Queiroz isn’t sure. With Rich Mahogany coming off a win, Swole Ricky Martin likely to face a pair of DMMA contenders yet, and a matchup between Gunnar Gunnarsson and Shaun Gonzalez impending, Queiroz doesn’t know what the future holds beyond the event at Combate de Cima in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

 

“It’s a circus out there,” Queiroz told the Tycoon Times on Wednesday. “… Swole Ricky defending his Dynasty MMA belt. Rich Mahogany has a good point when it comes to fighting for the belt. I think Sean deserves that match more than Gunnarsson or Gonzalez deserves the matchup. But we all know why they’re doing it. Like I said, it’s a circus out there. Queue the clown music. Bring in the crowds with their peanuts and their popcorn, so they can have a good time. But I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m not really spending too much time or energy thinking about what can happen. All I know is I’m going to be here, in shape, ready to whoop some ass. Whatever happens, wherever the chips may fall, I’ll be there to pick up the winnings. Because the world knows that there's nobody more deserving of a title shot than myself.”
