Cox doesn’t blindly disrespect those around him; there’s a relatively easy path to his good side, but when it comes to flyweights in the world and people disrespecting him, all bets are off. Records aside, performance bonuses aside, and promotion aside, Cox is already taking notes and foaming at the mouth of potential opponents.
“I could beat somebody in the UFC right now,” Cox said. “I have a kid that I’ve been trying to fight since we’ve been on the regional scene and he’s in the UFC right now and I would kick his ass. It’s Jeff Molina. He couldn’t get out of a wet paper bag. I pounded his f*****g head on the floor. I’m not just going to fight it to hold it, I’m going to fight it to beat it to death.
With a fighting style he says mimics TJ Dillashaw and an out-of-the-cage personality of Dominick Cruz, Cox is tailor-made for the spotlight.
