Krzysztof Jotko isn’t concerned with what Eryk Andersbrings to the table.
The two were initially scheduled to fight on April 11, but the event was scrapped due to the coronavirus outbreak and the fight was moved to Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 8 event.
Jotko (21-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC), who recently underwent shoulder surgery, is happy to finally enter a bout with a clean bill of health. He said he wasn’t at 100 percent in his fights with Uriah Hall and David Branch.
He’s won two in a row and likes his chances against Anders (13-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) in a matchup in which he said he doesn’t see any specific threat.
“He don’t have something like super jiu-jitsu or very good standup or something that I need to be scared (of),” Jotko said during Thursday’s UFC on ESPN 8 virtual media day. “He’s just a good athlete, top guy, and that’s it. I think I’m a better fighter. I’m a more spectacular fighter and I will show this this Saturday.”
If things go his way, Jotko hopes to run things back with Hall. He was in control of that fight until he got caught midway through Round 2.
“I will be so happy to have a rematch with Uriah Hall – that’s what I want,” Jotko said.
