Kyler Phillips Is Working Toward Greatness

Bantamweight Kyler Phillips Hopes To Make Another Step Toward His Ultimate Goal At UFC 299: O'Malley vs Vera 2

For more than half his life, Kyler Phillips has had one goal, and as he approaches his Saturday bout on the UFC 299 card in Miami, he believes that his opponent, Pedro Munhoz, and anyone else in his way won’t have anything to say about it.

“When I was 12 years old, I wrote on a piece of paper to my dad that said, ‘UFC world champion’ on there; and that was my goal,” said Phillips. “And I'm still chasing that same goal and nothing's going to take me away from that, especially when I'm dialed in, focused and in the mindset I'm in.
