‘I came here on a business trip’
Logan Storley has one particular issue on his head – the Bellator welterweight interim championship.
Storley is on a mission to make his initially title beneath a major advertising at Friday’s Bellator 280 in London. But to obtain that, he will have to get past very long-time contender Michael Webpage, as properly as Page’s pre-battle antics that arrive with each struggle he’s in.
Page (20-1 MMA, 16-1 BMMA) is infamous for trash speaking and getting a showman through his profession. Storley (13-1 MMA, 8-1 BMMA) is not way too familiar working with these sorts of opponents, but no matter, the 29-calendar year-previous won’t allow the out-of-cage things distract him from the endeavor at hand.
“I guess Justin Buckley talked a very a minor trash to me, but besides that, that’s about it truly,” Storley advised MMA Junkie Radio. “I guess I never genuinely treatment. I never get far too wrapped up in it. At the finish of the day, I came here on a organization journey. It is not individual to me. None of this is.
“I don’t disrespect or hate any person that I’m going to fight. At the close of the day, we’re both of those prize fighters fighting for income, and I’m going to do my career on Friday, and I’m likely to go back again to the United Sates and be champ and take pleasure in my everyday living. I get it. You have to market the battle a minor bit, but it doesn’t do a lot for me individually.”
