""Absolutely stoked to get it. I knew that there was three lightweight fights coming into this card. It's a crazy sport, anything can happen, even the higher guys, if they get injured and they can get a short notice replacement, you've got to be ready to go," Mullarkey noted during this week's media day."
"Mullarkey was "bummed" when he didn't have a fight for the card initially, "but I was coming into camp with Volk [Alexander Volkanovski] guns blazing, just staying ready. The short notice, it's four weeks, not even that short-notice, and I was training very hard. So it's not really a short-notice fight for me.""
""I think everyone's doubting me, everyone's overlooking me, and that's expected. I'm not upset about that," he stated. "He's coming in with a lot of hype, and he's doing very well. He's a dangerous fighter, but I'm just here to fight, man. I'm looking so forward to getting his his face and making this a fight. It's a very winnable fight for me too. I believe I'm going to get my hand raised.""
