Javier Vazquez is confident that he will manage to beat Jens Pulver when the two meet at Saturday’s WEC 47 event.
Vazquez have a disappointing 0-2 start in the WEC and is desperate for a win against Pulver.
“Every fight is a must-win, but yeah definitely this one (is) just because of the circumstances,” Vazquez told MMAjunkie.com.
“But I’m not pressuring myself. I’m just going out there and doing my thing. If I fight up to my ability, I win.”
Vazquez have previously been reported as saying he planned ’to retire Pulver’.
“Some of my stuff has been taken out of context,” Vazquez said. “I’ve said in several interviews that I hope he doesn’t (retire). I hope I’m not the one (who retires him). … I want to see him fight. I’m a big fan of his. I’ve been following his career for 10 years. … But I also want to win.
“Like I said, some of the things I said were taken out of context. They’ll take the middle of my sentence and post that, but they won’t use the whole sentence.”
