Nothing easy about fighting Umar. He’s super accurate and super dangerous. Kudos to Cory for taking this highest risk fight.

Its not high risk since Cory was promised a title shot if he wins vs Umar.

Cory is way ahead of Umar in competition/experience and from what he's been saying in previous interviews, he's worked really hard from what we saw in his last performances.
