“Everything is open. Everything is (there) to take. I’m here to take everything I can,” Saint Denis told reporters on Wednesday.
“First off I need to put on a huge performance against Moicano. He’s a tough fight. I’m expecting a tough fight, and it’s going to be a war. Expect me to do my best to climb the division.”

“It’s very open, but all I need is to do great performance on Saturday night. I have a great manager he’s taking care of it. My job as a fighter is to go out there and to put on the fight everybody is expecting,” he said.
“To make it go my way and we will see from there.”
