But they turned out to be untrue. “I had a really bad view of the place before I went there,” said Westcott backstage at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena after a first-round submission of Garcia. “I’d heard that all they did was try to win practice and all the guys just go hard and guys would get hurt in practice. Like, I get paid to fight.
