“It just seemed like another golden opportunity,” Varner on Monday told MMAjunkie.com Radio “It’s a win-win situation just like the Edson Barboza fight. One, it’s short-notice, and two it’s another guy arguably in the top 15 in the world. I’m supposed to lose to a guy like Joe Lauzon.
“But if I go out there and I beat Joe Lauzon, it catapults my career once again. I take another big step forward. It would put me right in the mix of top 10 guy, and my fight next could be a No. 1 contender fight. There’s everything to gain, and really nothing to lose.”
