Schmid key quotes, UFC Fight Night 293
“Bliss, happiness, joy – all the above. I feel great. A couple bruises, but as (Dan) Hooker says, it's just a scratch. I knew he was going to be tough, and he was. He was very tough. I didn't expect him to be so tough. I hit him with everything I had and the kitchen sink. He's a great fighter.”
“In May, even though it was short and fast and chaotic, it allowed me to get a good insight into this whole system that is the UFC. It really allowed me to visualize and see everything very clearly coming into this fight. I was very comfortable and very confident.”
“I’m always looking to be active. Right now, I’ve just got to heal up and I leave the rest to my coaches and the UFC. I know that if I come in here fully prepared, I can beat any featherweight on this planet.”
