Keep on scrolling to find out more what Gregory said about the match-up:
Lenny March from MyMMANews had the opportunity to speak to Greg MMA ahead of his bout:
L: What type of match-up do you expect from Gianluca Locicero?
G: “He used to fight at the beginning of the 21st century and go to war and throw heavy leather. I have to wait for the storm and wait for my technique to take over. He is a brawler, so I need to be careful of heavy hands.”
L: Fighting at home for the first time in your career, how does that feel?
G: “Well usually the crowd was booing me. Especially in England, they always like ‘BOOOOO, FRENCH FROG’. It pissed me off so this time everyone will cheer for me, i’m sure it will help me get the win.”
L: What is the goal at this stage of your career as you make your comeback?
G: “In fact I never succeed to be champion. Two times I lost for the Cage Warriors belt, one time against Mousasi and Mark Ewin. If I have a good fight then maybe I fight for the belt because it is vacant. So, we will see who’s the boss of Hexagone MMA, if that is possible lets make it happen.”
