He also noted that this fight would likely be the easiest way for him to enter the top 15 rankings.I have full confidence in my abilities and believe I could defeat anyone if given the chance. However, I am aware that I am not invincible and could also be defeated. This is just the nature of the sport. As fighters, we strive to be the dominant force. A match against Paddy would be an exciting one.Frevola expressed that there are various possibilities for the outcome of the fight. He finds it thrilling that his opponent is always aggressive on his feet, throwing powerful kicks and punches.

I am also skilled in jiu-jitsu and believe that I have a high level of proficiency. I am eager to showcase my skills, including the Brazilian jiu-jitsu techniques taught by Matt Serra and Gracie Tampa South’s Matt Arroyo. Mixed martial arts allows me to display a variety of techniques, and I believe that fighting someone like Paddy will give me the opportunity to demonstrate my full range of abilities.”
