Cody Stamann On UFC Vegas 100 Bout: Get That Boy A Pillow Because I’m Putting Him Out
Cody Stamann is ready for Saturday night.
Cody Stamann vs. Da’Mon Blackshear
UFC Vegas 100 goes down this Saturday on ESPN+. One of the fights on the 100th Fight Night in the UFC Apex is Cody Stamann taking on Da’Mon Blackshear. Recently, BodySlam had the pleasure of sitting down with Cody ahead of his fight and ask how he’s feeling heading into it, to which he knows he has to win to break his 2 fight losing streak.
Yeah, I mean, it sucks that being in a do-or-die situation kind of brings out the absolute dog in me. But, yeah, I fare pretty well when the chips are down and I’m in trouble and I feel like this is going to be no different, listen, Da’Mon Blackshear’s no slouch, right? Like, the kids good. He’s good everywhere, his Muay Thai’s good, his wrestling’s pretty good, his Jiu-Jitsu, you know, he’s a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu, like, he’s good. He’s no slouch, but, listen, I’ve fought the current world champion and a former world champion, I’ve had maybe one of the toughest go’s of anyone. I’ve probably fought more people in the top 15 than most people on the top 15, you know what I mean? Like, I mean, I’ve been ranked as high as number seven in the world, I know what the top of the division looks like and I’m not sure if Da’Mon Blackshear has seen the kind of, you know, the level of competition that I’ve seen. And, I don’t know man, like, I know what I have to do in the cage, I know this kids going to come out with everything he’s got and I know that, and I’m well prepared for it.
Stamann continues on to say that despite just a six week camp, he’s well prepared and he has an idea on how the fight will look.
And, I almost think having a shorter camp is a good thing because I don’t have as much time to sit and think and overthink it, it’s just like, alright, let’s just get to work. There’s no real time to think about it, obviously have time to game-plan and prepare, six weeks is enough time to do that. Get my weight in check and do all that stuff. Get in shape. But, there’s also like that looming thing in the back of my head, I’m like, ultimately I just need to be in the best shape of my life because me and this kid are going to, we’re going to hurt each other. Like, it’s going to be a nasty, it’s either going to be a real nasty 15 minutes or get that boy a pillow because I’m putting him out.
Will we see a big finish this Saturday night? Tune into the UFC prelims at 4PM ET on ESPN+ to see Cody Stamann vs. Da’Mon Blackshear.
