<blockquote>
Matt Lindland is gearing up for his 30th professional career fight, and with that tally comes a wealth of knowledge about the intricacies of the sport; a multitude of ins and outs with various tricks of the trade.
“I’m looking forward to fighting Robbie,” Lindland said. “He’s a young talented guy. He’s been in the sport as long as I have, so he’s got a ton of experience.”
“I think I’m still one of the top contenders in this sport, a Top 10 guy. Of course, I lost to the champion, ‘Jacare’, and I think this is a great path back to that title contention. A win against Robbie certainly solidifies me in the Top 10.”
“People see him as a big striker and a brawler, but the guy is well-rounded. “He knows how to fight on his feet, he knows how to wrestle, he knows how to fight on the ground. So, I gotta be prepared for all aspects of the sport.”
“If I had my way, I’d like to put Robbie on his back and pound a hole in his head. I’m sure Robbie would like to try and keep it on his feet and put me to sleep standing up, so I really think it’s about whoever can impose their will.”
