"Duffee’s manager, Monte Cox, spoke candidly with MMAFA.tv about the recently-signed match-up:
"This is one of those opportunities that come around once in a lifetime. Todd isn't 100% and there isn't enough time to get 100% ready, but he felt like it was a dream come true to fight against one of the best, if not the best, heavyweights in the world.
"I'll be honest, I argued against taking the fight. I'd rather he have time to prepare and be at full strength... but he was adamant that this was a special opportunity and he wasn't going to pass on it and regret it later on. He said 'I'm a fighter... this is what I do.' How am I supposed to argue with that logic?""

WAR Duff Man!
good on him I say
Lynch the bunk liverkick.com site.
Duffee comes through in the clutch.
Isn't this what Monte is supposed to say? Even if it's not true? Isn't it his job to paint his client in the best possible light to minimize any backlash due to his reported history of various problems?
He is a PROFESSIONAL FIGHTER....therefore he should be ready to fight ANYTIME!!!!!!
whats the big deal
fightsfan - He is a PROFESSIONAL FIGHTER....therefore he should be ready to fight ANYTIME!!!!!!

As I said before, Duffee can take this fight, it's in Japan and he doesn't have to cycle.
Stupid move by Duffee, IMO.
Oh well.. should be exciting, for about 56 seconds.
