"Head kicks are not part of my actual strategy in the fight. It's something that I'm aware that I have as a weapon ... (but) I don't look for anything. I just see an opening, and when I see an opening, I time it with the head kick. The fighters don't leave as many openings now because they're aware of the kicks. Now I feel like it's going to be even more of a challenge to try and find the perfect timing. That's what makes this fight interesting. The chess match in stand-up is, who's going to fall for it and who's not? ... That's the part I believe is most important."-Marius Zaromskis
