This is the first guy that has pulled out on me in the PFL.“I’m prepared for anyone, though. At the end of the day, I look at this guy and he’s not on the level of Sergio Pettis anyway.McGrillen is one of the brightest British MMA prospects right now and has vowed to score a first-round KO in AustinJose Peñuela / PFL Europe 3“He’s a completely different fighter. A completely different fighter, but I’m prepared for all sorts.”Making his prediction, McGrillen added: “I know I’m going to flatline him in a round.“That’s how I see it. I see a car crash coming in, boom, get him!”
