Hasan predicts a chaotic press conference ahead of his
sophomore
Ultimate Fighting Championship bout.
Hasan (10-0) is scheduled to fight Luis Gurule (11-4) at UFC 334 on Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York. He claims he’s more nervous about the prefight press conference than the bout itself.
Josh Hokit, who headlines the card against Ciryl Gane for the heavyweight title, is notorious for his trash talk, prefight antics and clashes with fellow fighters. Hasan says that he cannot control his mouth at times, which has often landed him in trouble. With outspoken fighters like Hokit and Kevin Holland also expected to be on stage, Hasan is expecting chaos at the UFC 334 prefight presser.
“If I let my mouth do its thing, man, I get in trouble more times,” Hasan told Ariel Helwani. “I feed off the energy, crowd and honestly, just the scenario. Sometimes I can't control what I say, and it gets me in trouble, also pushes me into good directions as well. I’m nervous about not being able to control what I say. We've got Josh Hokit, we've got me, we've got Kevin Holland. We've got a bunch of characters on that stage.”
Hasan won a UFC contract with a 45-second stoppage win on Dana White’s Contender Series in August. He then recorded a second-round knockout victory in his UFC debut in Shanghai, China, just 18 days later.
