Jordan grew up watching Wiman
Jordan Leavitt while talking to UFC revealed that he grew up watching UFC and Matt Wiman is one of the fighters that he watched out. Leavitt says, “I used to watch Matt Wiman when I was in high school, I was a big fan of him, so I have mixed feelings about fighting him, and it’s very strange. But I wouldn’t walk in there if I didn’t believe I belonged”
“And it’s hard for me to let the negative emotions overpower the positive because I’m just happy to have made it, and I’m happy to be performing on the stage. I’ve mostly just been focusing on the journey, not really the endpoint. I guess we’ll see if I worry when I get there, but I definitely still feel like that mantle of peace is over me.”
Now after defeating the guy whom he admires that too in just 22 seconds of the very first round will make this a remarkable debut for Jordan Leavitt.
