Soszynski ready for UFC 98

Krzysztof Soszynski insists he is ready to return to the Octagon to fight Andre Gusmao at UFC 98 on May 23.

Usually MMA fighters takes a break for several months before their next fights, but Soszynski insists he is ready for his new fight after beating Brian Stann at UFC 97 on April 18.

Soszynski told Fanhouse.com: “Andre and I both fought in the IFL, we were on the same card a couple times, so I’ve seen him fight in person. I think he’s very well-rounded. He can use a lot of kicks effectively and he’s a jiu jitsu black belt, so it’s going to be tough for me. If the fight goes to the ground, I’ll work my magic there, and if the fight’s standing, I’ll work my magic there.”

He added: “To be honest, I would love to have a few more weeks off between fights. I took two weeks off after my last fight with Brian Stann, and in those two weeks I did nothing but have fun, enjoy life, spend time with my family, and basically pig out and eat, so that gave me time to rest my mind and recuperate my body. I was in very good shape because I had a 15-week training camp going into the fight with Brian Stann, so two weeks off put me in a position where my head was really good, and now I feel fresh and ready to go again.”
