As the clock counts down for the match between Razor Rob McCullough and Corey Hill at Tachi Palace Fights 6, both fighters talked to the press on how they felt about their upcoming battle.
Corey Hill:
“Screw the hype, you know, I’m 31 years old and blessed with some talent and potential and I’m at the point in my career where I want to fight tough guys. This fight is a personal goal and will let me and my team know where I’m at.”
On Razor Rob as a opponent:
“He’s a former champ and tough as hell, he has done a lot of great things in the cage. We are just excited and blessed with this opportunity to fight him.”
Razor Rob McCullough will make his return to the Tachi cage after a first-round technical knockout of Fresno, Calif.’s Isaac De Jesus (9-2) in July. Prior to that mma fans had a chance to see McCullough in the WEC against Karen Darabedyan, a fight he ultimately lost via split decision.
Razor Rob on coming back to Tachi Palace Fights:
“It was good to be back fighting on the reservation and channeling that warrior spirit, I think being back out there really helped me get back in the zone. I think that Isaac was the favorite and had all that crowd support, but I was really able to feed off being back in Lemoore.”
Razor Rob on Corey Hill:
“I know that he’s tall, he’s coming off of a good win over Kit Cope and trying to establish his career. I think this is a veteran versus newcomer type of fight. I know he has somewhat of a wrestling pedigree and might try and take the fight to the ground. I think we will definitely see my hand raised at the end of the night, though.”
