UFC Vegas 111: Chris Padilla Ready to Return
Lightweight fighter Chris Padilla, with a 3-0 UFC record, is returning to the cage this Saturday at UFC Vegas 111. He will face Ismael Bonfim in a main card matchup. Although Padilla has not sustained any injuries, his comeback was delayed by circumstances beyond his control.
“Everything was fine on my side. It’s just, the powers that be had to do their job, and here I am to do my job,”
Padilla addressed rumors about opponents avoiding him, emphasizing that he is ready and eager to fight anyone. He stated that everyone will have to face him eventually.
“Everyone’s got to see me one day, again, just like today. If there is someone running, if I see your name come up, it’s time to eat.”
Coming off a split decision win over Jai Herbert, where he sustained a serious eye injury but continued fighting, Padilla demonstrated his resilience and fierce mentality.
“One of my mottos is ‘pain is power.’ And sometimes the Gods demand blood. It’s going to be mine or theirs,”
He concluded with his commitment to fight relentlessly:
“If I have to pay in blood, I will, by any means man. The only way they’ll stop me is if they stop me.”
