Ray Cooper III might not be part of the Professional Fighters League postseason this year, but he is feeling rejuvenated heading into his showcase bout against Muhamed Berkhamov at PFL 9 on Friday.
That wasn’t necessarily the case in recent months, as he struggle to find motivation after capturing PFL championships in 2019 and 2021.
“I wasn't even close to whatever I am now,” Cooper said. “And, the goal is just to get that rematch back.… I just want big fights right now.” “I didn't stop training. I trained right after that fight,” he said. “I didn't stop training, and I just was hungry again.”
