“You never wanna be in the loss column, but I think my level of competition in my last two fights have been tougher than him,” Iaquinta explained. “My losses were two years ago, his were pretty recent. So I have a pretty recent picture as to what his skills are right now.
“The past two years, I’ve evolved as a fighter and as a person. I’m going to be way more mature in there, way more experienced, and I think that’s going to really be the difference. We both have lost to tough guys At this level, I think it’s all about the matchups you get. I think Bobby Green is a great matchup for me; he’s a tough fighter, but a great matchup.”
Regardless of the outcome, this opportunity could be once-in-a-lifetime for the roster mainstay of the Serra-Longo Fight Team, so we can be sure that Iaquinta will leave it all in the Octagon Saturday night. After all, it’s a homecoming for Iaquinta — both figuratively and literally.
