The challenger spoke about his mindset coming into this fight during a recent interview with The AllStar:

Felipe Lobo has no choice but to be at his best if he is going to become a world champion
Felipe Lobo hasn’t had anything given to him in his career but he did certainly put himself in the world champion’s field of view following their encounter at ONE Fight Night 16.
After watching on as Jonathan Haggerty defeated his teammate, Fabricio Andrade, the two men had a back-and-forth confrontation that set-up their meeting this week at the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
With the sky-high confidence of the world champion coming into this one, he will be confident that his performance alone will do the talking for him.
If Lobo is going to leave the 'Mecca of Muay Thai' with 26 pounds of gold, there is no other option than everything falling into place for him.
‘The General’ won’t be short on motivation to send his first challenger packing after the heated confrontation between them last November.
ONE Fight Night 19 will air live and free in U.S. primetime for North American viewers with an active Prime Video subscription.
