There are certain risks involved with taking a fight on short notice, and UFC middleweight Bristol Marunde knows them as well as anyone. Over the past two years, Marunde has had the opportunity to compete under the bright lights of the Strikeforce and UFC banners. However, in his two fights with the organizations, he had a minimal amount of time to prepare due to the fact he stepped in on very short notice. At UFC 163 tonight, though, Marunde feels he will finally get the chance to showcase his full skillset, backed by the preparation of a full training camp. “Training camp is one thing that has been a huge difference for this fight,” Marunde told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “My last two fights were called on a week’s notice, and it’s hard to prepare.” Most MMA fighters do their best to keep in shape year-round so that when they do get the call for a short notice fight, they are ready to make the very best of the opportunity
