Interview with Shem Rock below
Shem Rock (8-1) discusses his lightweight fight against Arthur Lima (10-2-1) at OKTAGON 42 on April 29. Rock was originally slated to fight Jakub Bahník before this interview was done.
“I’m not here to pay my dues in the sport, I’ve done all that, I’m past that point. I’m looking at the champion, I’m looking at (Losene Keita). Keita has to to address this after I finish this guy. He can either welcome me and we’ll get it on. Or he can vacant the belt and I’ll be the next guy, since I know he’s moving down to featherweight. I’m a horrible stylistic matchup for him.”
