Richie Lewis looks to take out “f—— snake in the grass” Ernesto Rodriguez at Titan FC 71

Interview with Richie Lewis above

 

Richie Lewis (1-0) discusses his lightweight fight against Ernesto Rodriguez (2-0) at Titan FC 71 on August 6.  Richie also talks about winning his professional MMA debut earlier this year, what type of camp he’s had heading into this fight and how training with Ernesto lead to this fight being made.

“(Ernesto) was trying to come to Miami, and we welcomed him with open arms (to train). It was my first sparring session … this kid came in and my coach was like ‘alright Richie I want you to spar him’ I toughed him up a little bit, it was competitive. He just seemed disheartened with how the round went. The dude just reeked with envy. I guess next week he goes back to Xtreme Couture and he wanted to fight me. He’s a f—- snake in the grass.”
