""I think Joe is a tough guy," said Magomedov (28-6-1) during this week's media day, adding that Pyfer was young and hungry. Still, he added, he didn't have much to say about his opponent. "Let's see Saturday. Let's talk Saturday, yeah?""
""Yeah they offered me last year, to fight against him, but I never choose some opponent. I just get the name and location where we are going to fight," noted Magomedov. "I can't understand too how we can say 'no' or 'yes.' We are here to fight with everyone, same goal, to be champion one day. To this moment I can't understand how you can say 'no.'""
""I don't worry about this. I just worry about me, about my fight this Saturday," he replied."
