  • Petinju kelas welter Mikey Garcia mengonfirmasi dirinya dapat tawaran untuk melakoni pertarungan UFC.
  • Mikey Garcia mengungkapkan telah bertemu dengan Presiden UFC Dana White terkait kemungkinan itu.
  • Mikey Garcia saat ini tengah fokus untuk bisa berhadapan dengan petinju legendaris Manny Pacquiao.

SKOR.id – Juara tinju kelas welter dan calon lawan potensial Manny Pacquiao, Mikey Garcia, mengonfirmasi bahwa dirinya tengah melakukan pembicaraan dengan Dana White.

Menurut Mikey Garcia, kontaknya dengan presiden Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) itu terkait kemungkinan untuk melakoni duel mixed martial arts (MMA).

Pemegang sabuk gelar kelas welter WBC Diamond tersebut mengungkapkan dirinya dapat tawaran untuk berpartisipasi dalam UFC Fight Pass dari Dana White.

Mikey Garcia juga menambahkan jika White juga mempertimbangkan dan terbuka dengan ide untuk mempersiapkan laga UFC bagi petinju asal Amerika Serikat (AS) itu.

“Saya telah bertemu dengan Dana (White). Untuk UFC Fight Pass. Saya akan bergabung dengan mereka. Dan mungkin sebuah duel UFC,” ujar Garcia seperti dilansir IB Times.

“Namun saya mengatakan kepada mereka, ‘Anda harus memberikan waktu, setidaknya setahun untuk saya latihan (tarung bebas).’” Petinju 32 tahun itu menambahkan.

Mikey Garcia mengaku antusias dengan kesempatan yang ditawarkan Dana White. Ia pun akan segera memulai latihan dengan bimbingan pelatih MMA top secepatnya.

Garcia sekarang tercatat sebagai petinju divisi welter (66,7 kg). Tetapi, ia tidak keberatan menurunkan bobot agar bisa mencicipi pengalaman bertarung di kelas bulu UFC (65,8 kg).

Ini bukan kali pertama ia mengungkapkan keinginan berlaga di UFC. Pada Desember 2019, Mikey Garcia mengaku akan senang bertarung di dalam oktagon jika bayarannya cocok.

“Jika ada kesempatan dan pertarungan serta nilainya tepat, maka saya tidak akan menolaknya,” ucap Garcia ketika ditanya soal kemungkinannya menjajal MMA.

Terlepas dari itu, saat ini, Mikey Garcia tengah fokus agar bisa berhadapan dengan Manny Pacquiao di atas ring tinju. Ia yakin bakal menjadi lawan petinju legendaris Filipina tersebut.

Sebelumnya, Manny Pacquiao menjadi sorotan setelah mengungkapkan kesediaannya untuk melakoni pertarungan tinju dengan mantan juara dua kelas UFC, Conor McGregor.

“Duel Manny Pacquiao selanjutnya bukan melawan Conor McGregor, tetapi dengan saya. Jika tidak tahun ini, maka tahun depan,” ujar Garcia (40-1, 30 KO) yakin.
