Marcelo Rojo Interview (1:53)
We kick off this week’s episode with an interview with UFC 271’s Marcelo Rojo. The Argentine fights Kyler Phillips on the pay-per-view main card this weekend, but before he does so, he sits down with our own Gumby Vreeland. They chat not just about the big spot he has this weekend in a bout against a top prospect, but also about the fight itself. If Kyler Phillips plans on striking with Rojo, he has a feeling this isn’t going to last long. If Phillips instead wants to do some wrestling… well, let’s just say that Rojo has some choice words for him in that case.
