Steve caught up with BritMMA.co.uk ahead of his fight on Sunday night's Adrenalin FC. Here's a snippet of what the 1-1 Combat Sports Academy Lightweight had to say :)
"Jeremy isn't going to give me an easy fight. He is pretty well rounded. I don't think he will be as tough as Diego. I don't think many fighters in my weight have a chin like his. I do think with Jeremy I have more to worry about though. I wasn't worried about Diego's punches at all, whereas with Jeremy I can't be as ignorant in that department.
"My whole game is ever improving. Before the Diego fight, I trained the wrong kind of fitness and I never intend on that being an issue ever again. My ground game is always getting better. Doing BJJ helps a lot. It tightens everything up. I'm really working on my hands now too as I want to get a KO.
"Training has gone very well," flowed Steve. "I'm working as hard as ever. A few injuries slowed me down, but I went about them the right way and they're not an issue now."
