Fremd is from Pittsburgh however moved to Colorado a few years in the past, and he now calls it residence. When the UFC introduced they have been going to Denver, he says he did the whole lot he might to get on this card.
“I’d take this as a house sport, I’ve been residing right here the final 4, four-and-a-half years. Man, as soon as I heard the UFC was coming to Denver, I locked in on this date and manifested it. I used to be instructed many instances it most likely wasn’t going to occur, however anytime I used to be speaking to teammates I stored saying I’d be on this card. Two days after my supervisor mentioned it most likely wasn’t going to occur, he known as me saying they obtained somebody for me on this date,” Fremd mentioned on Simply Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com.
Fremd ended up getting matched up with Andre Petroski at UFC Denver who he’s aware of. The 2 educated collectively at Manufacturing unit X years in the past, and Fremd revealed he was truly the one who drove Petroski to the airport when he was leaving Colorado.
“We used to coach collectively, he tried out Manufacturing unit X. We each fought on an LFA card collectively, I drove him to the airport once we fought on that card,” Fremd mentioned. “He’s a cool man, I’ve nothing however respect for that man. I’m aware of him and his model, his techniques. He’s from Philly, I’m from Pittsburgh I believed we have been going to combat as an novice, low-level professional, what higher approach to meet than within the UFC.”
In the end, Josh Fremd says the previous coaching classes don’t have any affect on this combat. However, he does believe he’ll have the ability to beat Petroski as he thinks Petroski’s cardio will fail him.
“He has to get me out within the first two-and-a-half minutes, and if he doesn’t get me out of there within the first two-and-a-half minutes, he’s f****d… I don’t care whether it is quarter-hour, we’re bloody, and crushed, or if it’s 20 seconds, I wish to win and I’m going to win,” Fremd mentioned.
If Fremd will get his hand raised at UFC Denver, he isn’t positive the place that places him within the division. As an alternative, all he cares about is remaining a UFC fighter.
“Retains me my job. That’s what I’m targeted on. I wish to hold my job within the UFC. Andre is sweet, he had a few good wins, I don’t put a lot inventory within the wins, however when he fights a extremely good man, you see it isn’t the identical,” Fremd mentioned.
