Michael Imperato Moving Up To 145lbs For Dec. 18 Fight In Hopes Of Big Show Call Up
Interview with Michael Imperato above
Michael Imperato (9-4) discusses his featherweight title fight against Eric Wilson (7-10) at Tarps Off Fight Club 1 on Dec. 18. Michael also talks about having a tough time securing a fight over the last year, training in Las Vegas and why he had to move up a weight class to take advantage of this opportunity.
“I’m a 135er, I can make the weight super easy. I do cut a good amount but my body is used to it. I think I’m the best at bantamweight. Featherweight, I’m a big bigger, a little slower. So I don’t like fighting at 145-pounds, this was my only option. I think Eric wasn’t able to make 135-pounds. I’m down to fight whoever, at whatever weight.”
