No vacation, no celebration, just back to work; a characteristic of a fighter that White wants competing in his promotion, something he made vocal in his interview post-fight with Laura Sanko, telling the rest of the competitors on season six to “be Joe Pyfer.”
This Saturday, “BodyBagz” comes in as the favorite against Amedovski, who’s lost all three of his UFC fights since joining the promotion in 2019.
„100 percent honest, I’m not being disrespectful, I’ve watched probably 30 seconds of tape,” Pyfer said. “There isn’t that much tape on him. The one tape I did see against John Phillips he got knocked out, and against joseph Holmes he got rocked and then submitted.”

“I definitely think he’s very chinny and he’s a little sloppy, but he has power, he has speed. This guy is fighting for his job. Look, he’s on a three-fight skid, so technically he’s supposed to lose to me, right? I’m the biggest favorite on the card, I see these things, but he’s a formidable opponent, he’s in the UFC, everybody’s tough but I’m just going to be that much tougher.”
Oozing with confidence during fight week, if you didn’t realize who he was, you wouldn’t think he’s making his debut – a lifelong dream and the biggest moment of his life. Changing gyms and cutting out friends and family with “fake love,” Pyfer has seen massive improvements in his skill set and mental clarity.
