Williams on the fight’s key moment
“It felt great walking down to the octagon for the first time. I never fold under pressure. I always perform better under pressure. Pressure busts pipes, but it also makes diamonds. I’m just blessed to be a diamond.”
Williams on making a name for himself
““First off, I just want to thank God. Without him, none of this would be possible. I just want to thank the UFC for giving me this opportunity. I took it on two weeks’ notice. The dude was a hometown guy, 17-5, so it was a pretty incredible win. I’m just blessed to be here, blessed to get the ‘W’ how I did. Khaos Williams: Get used to the name, I’ll be here and I’m here to stay. I’m the future and one day I’ll be fighting for the title.”
