SBG star Blaine O'Driscoll is targeting a winning return as he prepares to take on Muhammad “The Punisher” Mokaev in the co-feature attraction of BRAVE CF 54 this weekend.
The Irish fighter (9-4) is returning to the cage six months after a decision loss at the. hands of Jose “Shorty” Torres.
And after tasting a first defeat since September 2019, O'Driscoll is confident that he's learned his lessons ahead of his return.
Facing a renowned wrestler in the undefeated Mokaev (4-0), the 29-year-old is confident he has enough in his locker to mix it with the Dagestan native on the ground.
“I wrestle every single day, you know. We have a great wrestling coach here and he's a solid coach. My wrestling will be fine. The truth is, maybe he (Mokaev) will get me down, but nobody can hold me down,” O’Driscoll said.
“All wrestlers and absolutely everyone who comes to the gym, they can't hold me down you. I always get up non-stop."
He added: “You can always try and I will keep getting up. Each time you bring me down, you are going to use more energy to do that and I will get back on my feet and get on you again."
