Miami, FL<\/strong>-Mexico\u2019s Ovidio Bojorquez (4-1) sent a notice to future opponents but finishing his last two opponents inside la jaula in the first round.<\/p>\n

But, the young welterweight is not impressed by his own work.<\/p>\n

Bojorquez defeated Matthew Colquhoun in September by way of flying knee and in November, he finished off Eddie Bruno by technical knockout also in the first round.<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked the way I performed, but I know I can do better,\u201d he recently said in an interview.<\/p>\n

Although, many might think his trusty weapon is his knee that assumption isn\u2019t exactly accurate, said Bojorquez, who trains at Rise Combat Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot too often (I use it), but I know it is a very powerful weapon that you can finish fights with just one knee so I wait for the right moment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Prior to debuting inside la jaula, he defeated Ben Goodwin in the second round in February. However, it was in December 2021 where he faced his only defeat by the hands of Ray Waters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat loss was good for me cause I learned a lot from it,\u201d he said. \u201cIt humbled me and I know I never want to lose again.\u201d<\/p>\n

With 2022 now in the rearview mirror, he is now looking forward to 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in 2023 I can finish everyone and I will face anyone they put in front of me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He has not stopped training since his previous contest and for those who question is he has a good ground game, well, he has a response.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I can finish them on the ground to I\u2019m always training grappling wrestling I\u2019m as good on the ground as my striking is,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He is planning to come this New Year with confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m\u00a0ready to keep going and keep finishing them; I\u2019ll keep winning fights to get what I think I deserve,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
