Interview with Marcel Grabinski above
Marcel Granbinski (23-7) discusses his welterweight fight Andreas Michaelides (14-6) at OKTAGON 44 on June 17th. Marcel also talked about training with UFC middleweight Abus Magomedov, his long-term goal to eventually end up in the UFC and his prediction on June 10.
“Michailidis is a very good opponent, especially his strength, he’s really heavy in that department. He fought in the light heavyweight division in the UFC. I’m a conditioned beast, I have conditioning and strength for five rounds. I think I’ll beat him or finish him in the second or third round. I’m ready in all domains.”
