Boser on winning his UFC debut by decision
“That’s the fight I was expecting. It’s how I fight. I know people boo and don’t like it, but unless they want to pay my rent, I’m getting my win bonus. I don’t care. The leg kick is one of my best techniques. I have two wins by leg kick TKO, which is a very rare stoppage, so I always look to implement those.”
Boser on octagon jitters
“My friends and family, everyone from back home – UFC is such a big deal to them because it’s what they watch every week and what they follow. To me, honestly, it didn’t feel different. I’ve been in the big show before, but I’ve been in the big show overseas. This feeling was nothing new to me, but it was big to my friends and family and to my hometown where I’m from. So I’m proud to represent them in that capacity.”
Boser on what he wants next
“I hope I can get one more in before the end of 2019. I’m good to go man.”
