Welcome to another episode of WFAN Daily with your host Pete Hoffman being joined right now by

number 14 middleweight in the UFC Joe Pfeiffer who has a unbelievable fight versus Israel

Adasania this weekend. I'm pumped forward. Joe take me through through i mean is this the biggest fight of your

career oh of course it's the biggest fight of my career um yeah i get to fight one of the

greatest metal weights of all time and uh i'm excited to share this experience now jo um this is there's a lot weighing on this fight because, again, he's sitting at

four, you're at 14, we know his history, we know that he's a two-time champion, you know

that you're still trying to get to the top.

Is it a must win it every fight to must win but like give me the is there a win

even if you lose type of atmosphere with this 100% like i said i get to fight the greatest

middle weight of all time i don't think there's a loss even if i do lose i'm fighting one of the of the best in the world. I'm one of the best in the world. I'm in the top 15. You know, it's not easy to get there. It's even harder to stay there. And, you know, I'm fighting somebody. I'm only 29 years old. And, but yeah, man, you know, this is obviously the best result could be a win and could be a finish

especially I think with a finish I'm either I could jump to a title or I could jump to a contender

spot you know depending on my performance it's going to really depend but yeah I mean this isn't a

must win situation I don't put that kind of pressure on

myself. Like every part of my ego and my being wants to win and I will never go out there and

be okay with losing. But yeah, just kind of trusting God and whatever he's got playing for me,

brother. I trained my ass off. I did what I could and I'm gonna go

out there and control my effort and be present and be where my feet are and give my

absolute best now when we saw Israel aught asania make his climb up to get the the

the belt he went through amazing fighters and he went through a legend in um anderson silva and this feels very similar where

you know is he not saying that he's as old as silver was but his path has gone down a little bit

and you're on the rise do you see the passing of the torch? Is this a similar spot? Or do you hold

Izzy to still be one of the best in the world? It's both. So I still hold him to be one of the best
