I’m going to finish him, and I’m going to show the world I’m the best welterweight ever,” Muhammad said on UFC Countdown.

Jack’s another guy that people are saying can beat me, can knock me out, he has the best boxing in the division. So, I’m approaching the fight like I’m fighting the best version of Jack. For me, now it’s showing Jack, I see your boxing, but I have better striking, I have every advantage over him, you haven’t see anybody who fights like me.”
