For Gamrot, he believes the work that he did ahead of Saturday’s contest has prepared him to deal with whatever situations may arise, and he’s confident that he has all the skills necessary to not only halt Klein’s climb up the divisional ranks, but to deliver the kind of performance that once again leaves the fans fired up and eager to see him back in action later this year.

“If you have good sparring partners and dangerous situations when training, then your focus and concentration is better in the fight.
