'The Bosnian Menace' said:
"That fight with Rodtang was fun. I think I can showcase better stuff in kickboxing because I bring the heat. I can fight anything, it doesn't matter."
Puric added:
"But yeah, I would love to fight [Takeru]. I would also love to fight for the Muay Thai belt this year. I mean, that's the goal, right, since they're having me fight Muay Thai this whole time. So I'm trying to take the Muay Thai belt since it's vacant now, doesn't matter who. And then I would love to get some kickboxing fights in and I would love to fight Superlek in kickboxing, that would be nice."
