Following his loss to MJF at Grand Slam Australia, Brody King had this to say: “I was this close. Man! I was this close. But you know what? Now I can taste it. Congratulations, Max; you just weaseled your way into another win. But I’m not gonna sit around feeling sorry for myself. Bring the biggest, bring the baddest. February 25th, I’m getting myself back into the world title hunt, and I’m looking for a fight.”
