Interview with Austin Bashi above

 

Austin Bashi (5-0) discusses his bantamweight title fight against Erion Zekthi (6-1) at Shamrock FC 337 on Apr. 9. Austin also spoke about how this opportunity came together, what type of training camp he’s had and why he’s not in a rush to make it to the UFC.

“That’s my whole thing I don’t want to rush myself. I want to fight tough guys on the regional scene so that way when I do make it to the big leagues, I’m used for all that. All the tough guys. When you have a dream, you have to keep chasing it day by day. For the past 12 years that’s what I’ve been doing. It’s my destiny.”
