WEC 35 Promo: Jamie Varner Training

“So I am about a week out from my first title defense. This was the last week of intense training and sparring. I feel like I had a great training camp, and at this point I feel stronger and in better all around shape then I did when I defeated Razor Rob. I have begun my cut to 155 and feel ready for this big fight. It is hard to prepare for a guy like Marcus as he has a pretty awkward style and size. I think he will be one of my toughest opponents to date, and there is no doubt he is a legitimate title contender.

I am the constant underdog. I think the only high profile fight I had where the fans, my opponents and their representatives seem to think they were going to kill me was the Franca fight. I think in the Franca fight most people assumed I was a lamb to slaughter and did not want to state the obvious. From Gilliam to Rob and now Hicks, I am always going to be handed the beating of a lifetime. They say, “He is headed to the hospital.” What they don’t know is that when my trainers say go home you have trained too much, I am home still training thinking about those comments. I am using every word as log for my fire and that is what is driving me to become the best fighter I can be. So keep saying I am the underdog and I do not belong. I will keep out working and out gunning you while you are trying to explain why I beat you at your own game. I will be at the gym not talking but walking the walk.”
