Ramiz
Brahimaj plans to put a lot on display at
UFC Houston.
Brahimaj will take on fellow welterweight Punahele
Soriano at UFC Houston on Feb. 21. Brahimaj recently changed
camps to train at Valle Flow Striking in Chicago. As Brahimaj
braves the brutal Chicago winters, he is confident that greatness
awaits. While Brahimaj has immense respect for his opponent, the
33-year-old plans to show the “greatness” that he knows is inside
him.
“I respect my opponent —I really, really do,” Brahimaj told the
UFC. “I have a lot of admiration for Puna —and
I understand it’s just business when I walk into that Octagon on
Feb. 21, but as I’ve said before, I have to display, I have to
showcase my entire arsenal and the greatness that is inside of me,
the greatness that has been pushing me. I know it’s gonna propel me
to new heights —I feel it, I believe it; I know it’s there… Feb. 21
is my rendezvous with destiny, and I know we’re gonna go
hand-in-hand, and we’re gonna have a good old time.”
‘This is My Time’
While Brahimaj (13-5) consistently alternated between wins and
losses in his early
UFC career, he is now on a three-fight finishing streak.
Meanwhile, Soriano (12-4) is also on a three-fight winning streak
after going 3-4 to start his UFC career. Brahimaj has a feeling
within that he will score a dominant win over Soriano at UFC
Houston.
“This is my time,” Brahimaj said. “I respect every man that I stand
opposite to in that cage, but I understand this is my time. Call me
delusional, call me whatever you want, but this is my time. This is
gonna be an immeasurable, beautiful, dominating win. I feel it in
my core. I’m gonna continue to climb that ladder, continue to show
the world who Ramiz
Brahimaj is, and what makes him great.”
