‘Be more violent’: Aussie UFC star’s prophetic warning as gruelling NRL gig awaits
Pushed on the American, who has dropped his past three fights in the UFC, Malkoun continued: “He’s an explosive guy, throws good power shots, and wrestles well.
“Obviously he’s coming off a few loses but, man, it’s a fight and he will be coming in to take my head off.“Because it’s all good to be better than somebody, but when you’re in there you have to go and show it.“Everything I do in the gym, I have to bring that out.“And maybe that will change how he fights, he could go crazy.“My approach is that I’m fighting for my contract too.
Malkoun also predicted a quick turnaround in fortunes for his great mate and training partner Whittaker, who was upset last start – and lost a UFC middleweight title shot — against South Africa’s Dricus Du Plessis.“He only had a week or two rest and was straight back into it.“It’s a tricky sport we’re in.
“You build up for months doing all this training and then have just one night to go prove you’re the best.
