Jornel Lugo wants to leave little doubt in the minds of everyone watching him compete at Bellator 265.
On Friday, kicking off the main card, Lugo (6-0 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) will take on Keith Lee in an important matchup for the bantamweight division.
“My goal is always to make sure when I go in the ring that the fight is not close,” Lugo told MMA Junkie. “I don’t want it to be like, ‘Oh, these guys are about the same,’ I want to go out there and dominate completely.”
Through three fights under the Bellator banner, Lugo has won each via unanimous decision and hopes a win over Lee (7-4 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) will set him up for a spot in the bantamweight grand prix, if that indeed comes to fruition.
“Easy million dollars, man,” Lugo said about the potential tournament. “Easy million dollars and get that belt. I definitely think it’s gonna happen for sure. It’s gonna happen, so winning this fight is just making sure that I’m gonna be in it.”
Lugo is planning on picking up a win on Friday, compete one more time before the year is out, and prepare for a tournament where he would compete against the best Bellator has to offer in the bantamweight division.
