Ramiz Brahimaj plans to put a lot on display at UFC Houston.
Brahimaj will take on fellow welterweight Punahele Soriano at UFC Houston on Feb. 21. Brahimaj recently changed camps to train at Valle Flow Striking in Chicago. As Brahimaj braves the brutal Chicago winters, he is confident that greatness awaits. While Brahimaj has immense respect for his opponent, the 33-year-old plans to show the “greatness” that he knows is inside him.
“I respect my opponent —I really, really do,” Brahimaj told the UFC. “I have a lot of admiration for Puna —and I understand it’s just business when I walk into that Octagon on Feb. 21, but as I’ve said before, I have to display, I have to showcase my entire arsenal and the greatness that is inside of me, the greatness that has been pushing me. I know it’s gonna propel me to new heights —I feel it, I believe it; I know it’s there… Feb. 21 is my rendezvous with destiny, and I know we’re gonna go hand-in-hand, and we’re gonna have a good old time.”
‘This is My Time’
While Brahimaj (13-5) consistently alternated between wins and losses in his early UFC career, he is now on a three-fight finishing streak. Meanwhile, Soriano (12-4) is also on a three-fight winning streak after going 3-4 to start his UFC career. Brahimaj has a feeling within that he will score a dominant win over Soriano at UFC Houston.
“This is my time,” Brahimaj said. “I respect every man that I stand opposite to in that cage, but I understand this is my time. Call me delusional, call me whatever you want, but this is my time. This is gonna be an immeasurable, beautiful, dominating win. I feel it in my core. I’m gonna continue to climb that ladder, continue to show the world who Ramiz Brahimaj is, and what makes him great.”
