Zandokan Jr. Discusses Upcoming CMLL Match With MJF, Insists That He’s Not Going To Back Down
Zandokan Jr. isn’t backing down from MJF.
On Friday, August 15, Zandokan Jr. will look to bring the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship back to CMLL, as he’ll challenge AEW’s MJF for the title.
This match will come after MJF defeated Averno for the title earlier this month. During CMLL Media Day, Zandokan spoke about the match, saying that he didn’t like how MJF disrespected Mr. Salvador Lutteroth and Mr. Jose Luis Feliciano. Zandokan was also firm that he is going to back down from the former AEW World Champion.
“I have pursued the World Light Heavyweight Championship twice, the first was against Averno in the Arena Coliseo, then it was in the Arena Mexico, that time my father was second, do you know what it’s like to have your father and not take the championship home? I was disappointed that I couldn’t fulfill my promise to my father the way I wanted to, so I have that thorn. I didn’t like what MJF did last Friday of disrespecting Mr. Salvador Lutteroth and Mr. José Luis Feliciano. I was watching the fight, I dared to challenge him, I know that he has a great rivalry with Místico, but if he claims to be the great fighter that he is, well he better face the King of the World. If he beats me or if I beat him and bring back the championship doesn’t matter, this Friday MJF is going to face the King of the World, a fighter who doesn’t come to play and doesn’t leave anyone, because they know that I don’t back down from anyone, be it Místico, Volador Jr., Atlantis, whoever it is.”
