UFC bantamweight Bryan Caraway (19-6) has won five out of his last six fights, all by submission, and has the biggest fight of his career coming up Oct. 4 in Halifax when he takes on rightful number one 135 pound contender Raphael Assuncao (22-4). Caraway's recent hot streak of submission wins has him riding high on confidence and believing that he's the best grappler in the entire bantamweight division, according to a new interview (video above) with MixedMartialArts.com.
"I think I can beat anybody," he said.
"I think I'm the best in the world, on the ground. I don't think anybody can hang with me when we get in scrambles, and stuff."
Caraway will face another excellent grappler in the powerful Assuncao, Saturday, and also hopes to steal the Brazilian's place in the division.
Raphael Assuncao is, without a doubt, in my opinion, the number one contender for the belt. You know, he's on a six-fight win streak. He has a win over the champ. If I beat him...I think that puts me in a very good position to fight for the title."
Who do you think the best submission grappler in the bantamweight division is? And, who are you picking in the Assuncao vs. Caraway UFC Fight Night match?
