‘I came here on a business trip’
Logan Storley has a single factor on his brain – the Bellator welterweight interim championship.
Storley is on a mission to generate his 1st title less than a key marketing at Friday’s Bellator 280 in London. But to reach that, he will have to get past very long-time contender Michael Web site, as properly as Page’s pre-battle antics that occur with each and every fight he’s in.
Website page (20-1 MMA, 16-1 BMMA) is notorious for trash chatting and being a showman all through his job. Storley (13-1 MMA, 8-1 BMMA) is not also common dealing with these kinds of opponents, but irrespective, the 29-calendar year-aged will not allow the out-of-cage factors distract him from the activity at hand.
“I guess Justin Buckley talked a really a little trash to me, but aside from that, that’s about it truly,” Storley explained to MMA Junkie Radio. “I guess I never really treatment. I do not get far too wrapped up in it. At the conclusion of the working day, I arrived listed here on a business excursion. It’s not personalized to me. None of this is.
“I never disrespect or loathe anybody that I’m heading to struggle. At the close of the working day, we’re the two prize fighters fighting for revenue, and I’m heading to do my occupation on Friday, and I’m going to go back again to the United Sates and be champ and appreciate my lifetime. I get it. You have to promote the struggle a very little bit, but it does not do significantly for me individually.”
