Matt Frevola warns Benoit Saint-Denis ‘not in our house’ ahead of UFC 295 home game

NEW YORK – Matt Frevola got what he wanted, a fight at Madison Square Garden.

A savage opponent was offered and accepted. Frevola (11-3-1 MMA, 5-3-1 UFC) fights Saturday vs. Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC 295, a card that also features two of his LAW MMA teammates, Nazim Sadykhov and Dennis Buzukja.

“The energy at the gym has been unreal,” Frevola told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a news conference Wednesday. “We all feed off each other. The slogan all camp has been, ‘Not in our house.’ Madison Square Garden is our house. We’re all New Yorkers and we’re ready to protect our homeland.”

Saint-Denis (12-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) does not have an official UFC lightweight ranking, but that didn’t deter the ranked Frevola from risking his divisional position. The fight on paper has fans buzzing, and Frevola shares in that.

“It excited me,” Frevola said. “I was ready to fight anybody at MSG. But when they came to me with Benoit, I just got excited. That’s what I want. I want to fight The Boogeyman. I want to fight the guys that people don’t want to fight. His nickname is the ‘God of War,’ but I’m going to show the world he’s just a man.”
