It will have been two years and three months since Tom Lawlor has stepped into the cage this Saturday, but opponent Gian Villante is still expecting his best.
It will have been two years and three months since Tom Lawlor has stepped into the cage this Saturday, but opponent Gian Villante is still expecting his best:
“He’s a veteran, tough guy. Knows what he’s doing. If he had any problem going up, he wouldn’t do it. He knows what he’s doing. I expect a tough, tough fight. A war. We’re going to put on a good show and I think that’s always what I try to do.”
As for possible rust needing to be shaken off by Lawlor after his long absence from competition, Villante actually believes it could have worked to his advantage. So, he expects a healthy and improved Lawlor, and that’s exactly what he’s prepared for.
“I’m sure he got better. I’m sure he’s been practicing. It’s not like he’s been sitting on his butt. I’m sure he got better,” Villante assured.
“I anticipate a tough guy and I expect the best Tom Lawlor. That’s all I could do. I’m not going to go in there and expect anything less than the best Tom Lawlor that he’s ever been so that’s what I’m ready for.”
