“I’m never going back down to 135. I’m going to stay at 140, I’m going to fight ‘Tank' Davis if he wants it at 140”, says Garcia.
“And if he doesn’t, then I’ll go fight some 140 pounder but he’s going to want to do it… there’s going to be riots if he doesn’t want to do it.
“I know that I’m committed to it and I told everybody that’s where my heart's positioned and I’m not going to waver for nobody”.
The fight between Davis and Garcia might be held back because of competing networks.
