As for Fundora, he said on Thursday in California,

“I can guarantee the fans get their money’s worth. We put on a great show every single time, but now that I’m headlining my own show, I’m really going to make sure I put it all on the line. Plus, with my sister on the card, it’s just more motivation to perform.

“I’m excited to be in this position. I’ve fought on a lot of big undercards as well and now it’s my time to take center stage.

Meanwhile, Ocampo would love nothing more than to pull the shocker. He told the media gathered,

“I’m feeling better than ever right now. I’m ready for what’s going to be a great challenge. This is going to be a war on Saturday night. You have to take the opportunities that you’re given. I know that Fundora is a strong fighter, but I’m going to be ready for him.

My goal is to wake up on Sunday morning and have it be the happiest day of my life. I want to party with that belt on Saturday night. “
