“I know King has a really weird style,” Zellhuber said. “He has a bunch of experience, but I am confident in the fight camp that I had, in the preparation that I had for this fight, and fighting here in Mexico City with my people, and my family, I feel that is a big advantage for myself. I feel good.”
With seven UFC fights under his belt and four years of experience, the lightweight understands how hard this sport can be, and how much harder it can be to stay here once you’ve made it. Still early into his career, Zellhuber now wants to kick things up a notch and start paving a path toward title contention.

“This year I definitely want to catchup with last year,” Zellhuber said. “Last year, one fight and I lost that one, so the whole plan is winning this first fight and then fighting again in July, and then maybe later in the year.
“I just want to be active. I feel I’m at that age where I’m young, I’m 26, and this is my seventh UFC fight, so I have a bunch of experience now, but I do feel that I’m at that point where I need to start fighting more actively and that’s what I’ve been trying to do but man, this sport is hard.”
