↵Woods: Isn’t that the big question here? Very often Zuffa promotions’ have a number one contender fight on a card that also features a title fight. Ben Henderson and Donald Cerrone are obviously fighting on the card (for the lightweight title) and they both hold victories over you and you are one of the hot prospects in the WEC lightweight division. I guess there are a lot of expectations that a victory here puts you in that position of number one contender. Is that your understanding of the situation?
↵Njokuani: Yes, correct. Whoever wins this fight and whoever wins the Donald Cerrone [sic] Cowboy and Henderson fight, those two will fight again for the belt.
↵Woods: To a degree you don’t want to look forward too much but as you’ve fought both Ben Henderson and Donald Cerrone, who would you most like to fight again?
↵Njokuani: Either one, it really doesn’t matter to me. Whoever wins that belt, I’ll fight either one. I don’t care. The only thing I am really focused on is getting my rematch.
Anthony Njokuani Says He Earns A Title Shot With Win At WEC 48
↵Njokuani has 2 MMA losses in his career, one to Ben Henderson and one to Donald Cerrone. His opportunity for a rematch against either is extremely appealing. Anthony is one of the future stars of the 155 pound division, even if he occasionally picks up a loss he’ll always be a guy that fights with a very exciting and crowd pleasing style. He also has power in his hands and feet that rivals anyone else at lightweight.
