“My cardio and stamina are excellent,” Anshul said about his preparation at Soma MMA in Bali, Indonesia. “My last opponent (Kyung Pyo Kim) finished nearly 80% of his games, and I believe he was far superior to Jeka, but I still beat him.”
With that being said, Anshul has made it clear that he isn’t taking his fight against Jeka Saragih lightly as the Indonesian as a terrific knockout power and has ended nearly half of his fight inside the distance.
“Anything can happen in MMA. If he lands a good shot on my chin, I could be knocked out, but the chances are low. I know my range and how to fight him. When you engage with him inside, he is very dangerous, but I am not going to fight his fight. Instead, (I) will make him fight my fight,” Anshul said.
