Marshall eyes stoppage win
“I’m sure it will hit the mat and I’m sure it will play out on the feet for a bit as well,” Dulgarian said. “It could go either way, it will either be mostly grappling or mostly on the feet.”
With Francis Marshall expecting the fight to play out on the mat, he has full confidence he will be the better grappler than Dulgarian.
As well, Marshall expects to drag Dulgarian into the deep waters and eventually gas him out to get a stoppage win.
“I see the first round being a close and tough round, working for takedowns and working takedown defense,” Marshall said. “As the fight goes on in the second round and even maybe the third, I’m just going to take over the fight. Keep the pressure on and maybe gas him out. My cardio feels phenomenal, so I could go all night.”
Should Marshall get the stoppage win on Saturday, he hopes he can fight at Madison Square Garden in November.
“A win puts me in a great spot to hopefully get another fight at MSG in November. If not, I hope to get in there in December. Get in there, get a finish, and get my next fight booked,” Marshall concluded.
