Interview with Jesse Arnett below
UAE Warriors featherweight champion Jesse Arnett (20-8) discusses his rematch against Ali AlQaisi (12-6) at UAE Warriors 33 on Sept. 17. Jesse also spoke about winning the title in his last bout, moving up to featherweight and how he sees the fight playing out.
“It’s going to be a finish. Ali’s super durable, he’s a good fighter. He fought in the UFC for a reason. I see a finish coming, similar, second, third round. Maybe there’s a 70% chance this goes five rounds. He thinks he was winning that fight; the judges scored that first round for me. If you want to look at the punch count, I was ahead on those cards. I don’t lose rounds; however, I am looking for the finish. I’m coming in the best case of my career and I’m ready for 25-hard minutes. It’s going to be “Big Cat” and still featherweight champion.”
The biggest rematch in UAE Warriors history is confirmed as Jesse Arnett (20-8) is set to defend his UAE Warriors featherweight title against rival Ali AlQaisi (12-6) in the main event of ‘UAE Warriors 33’ on Saturday, September 17 live from the Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
