Mariscal on getting his black belt
“I’m a black belt in judo, so it’s good to put this black belt in jiu-jitsu up on my resume. … Every day of my life, (I’ve been working toward my black belt). I get with my coaches – it’s all consistently. They’re not just giving them away (for nothing).”
Mariscal on what he wants next
“(I want) anybody. I’ve been calling out dudes. My last press conference, I gave out names. They don’t even look at it, those guys. It’s whoever – anybody, anywhere, any time. I’ve never said no to an opponent.”
