BKFC’s Brandon Conley’s not playing around when it comes to fighting sending a clear message to his opponent, Cody Vidal, at BKFC Fight Night: Philly on March 21.
“If he thinks this fight’s going to be anything like (his last fight), which I don’t think he does, he knows what he’s in for,” Conley told Eddie Law of Cageside Press.
“I don’t want to sound too cocky or arrogant, but…he shouldn’t have signed the contract.”
Conley (2-0 BKFC) is confident, but not arrogant when it comes to his assessment on his opponent, but he doesn’t mince words either.
“I’m just being honest man. I like the guy, I’ve talked to him a few times, he’s very polite, respectful,” he said.
“But he shouldn’t have signed the contract against me. It is what it is.”
No issues with his opponent, but there’s a little something added to a fight when a man signs to fight Conley in the ring. Call it bulletin board material, call it part of the business, but for Conley it’s enough to get him going.
“When he did that he made it a little bit personal. When he signed that line that’s him saying he thinks he can beat me. I’m going to show him otherwise,” said Conley.
Conley’s journey has been a wild one. He began in combat sports, but then switched over to powerlifting before getting in the ring with no gloves on. Now with his sights set on BKFC glory his goals have become clearer.
“Right now my #1 goal is to knock Cody Vidal out, or make him quit, and I want to get my house paid off. I’d like to get in that $20 something million tournament. I want to show all these people that you don’t have to have a big glorified name to kick people’s asses,” he said.
“Eventually win the title at 185. Short term, long term, it don’t matter. I’ll fight anybody.”
