“If issues go properly and I maintain shifting up, I would not need to look
previous Cory Sandhagen — particularly because it was my debut battle,”
Bautista advised Dwelling of Combat. “I’ve labored all this manner simply to get
again right here, and he is nonetheless in entrance of me… So it would not really feel proper
to move him or skip forward of him if I ever had that chance. So
if every part goes properly I might prefer to battle Cory once more.”
