During his appearance on The MMA Hour, Paul confidently stated, “I have no intention of slowing down for anyone. I believe it’s crucial for me to gain experience in the ring, even if others prefer to prolong fights. I genuinely enjoy the thrill of fighting and performing under the spotlight, ensuring an exhilarating experience for the fans. My ultimate goal is to become a champion, and that requires accumulating valuable experience. Hopefully, Mike Perry will provide a challenge and last a solid eight rounds, but only time will tell. I personally doubt his ability to endure for that long.”
