In the lead-up to previous fights, Haqparast’s eyes would light up and he would be excited to face a guy like Green, but after everything that he’s been through, he truly believes he has turned over a new leaf. He doesn’t care that he’s on the PPV, he doesn’t care who the opponent is; all he cares about is the outcome of the fight.
“I don’t feel like I need to perform special because I’m not at that stage of my career anymore.” Haqparast said. “If you had asked me a couple years ago, I would have been like a little kid and be very nervous, but all those experiences and all those fights made me grow as a person a lot.”
