Joe Pyfer is set to fight Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 316 after a long wait due to illness that led to their initial bout being canceled. Pyfer expressed excitement about the fight, discussing the challenges of consecutive training camps and weight cuts. However, he faced backlash for derogatory comments about Mexico following his previous cancellation, which he attempted to clarify, insisting his criticisms about the food and environment were not racially motivated. Pyfer revealed that illness impacted his preparations and emotions leading up to this awaited matchup.
"It was back-to-back camps to it definitely feels long," Pyfer told reporters including Cageside Press on Wednesday.
"They can still suck my d*ck, honestly. That's how I feel. It was not a race statement which everybody tried to turn it into."
