CFC 7 Fighter Matthew Odom is confident in his abilities in the cage against Ebi Sikpi

MMA Vet Jonathan Ivey is back at it again as he will be hosting Cage Fighting Championships (CFC) 7. This event is taking place on October 12th in Murfreesboro Tennessee. We will see a stacked card including 4 CFC title fights.

FightBook MMA had the opportunity to sit down and talk to Matthew Odom who’s a huge lightweight. Odom made his debut in the CFC back on April 20th of this year at CFC 6 winning his fight over Daniel Wheeler with a impressive performance. Odom returns to the CFC cage on October 12th to take on Ebi Sikpi at CFC 7. Check out the conversation we had with Wheeler.

I walked in that cage with a simple game plan but when it started everything was a lot more rushed than I thought it would be. I wanted to keep it standing but when he tried to take me down he stuck his head in the wrong place allowing me to get him in a guillotine which once your in mine there is no getting out.

I know he is a well-rounded fighter but I also know he’s most confident taking it to the ground. I’m not taking this fight lightly because I know he is a good fighter but I’m confident in my abilities in that cage.

I don’t focus on the rankings. I don’t look at fights down the road. I focus on the fight that’s at hand.

I’m constantly training no matter if it’s MMA or just in the gym. I’m always getting stronger, quicker, and more powerful every day. I plan on being a beast in that cage period.
