Boetsch is confident in all aspects of his game, regardless of if he gets taken down or not. "I don't feel I'm that vulnerable, even if he gets the takedown, but I don't think it's going to come down to that."

The best way for Boetsch to put pressure on his opponent is to make him feel uncomfortable in the cage. "I want to make the guy uncomfortable everywhere. Whether it's pushing the pace of the fight, crowding him, or just doing different techniques that he's not used to seeing to make him uncomfortable.

"Anytime you can get your opponent out of their comfort zone and thinking they're going to tire quicker, they're going to have to think more about what weapons they're going to use or counter strikes they're going to do, that's what my game is," Boetsch continued. "If I can get in there and push the pace, my cardio is great and I'll go to the later rounds if I have to, and push the whole time."
