Jimmy Wallhead (25-9) feels he is in a good place as he prepares to make a run at the Welterweight belt, his first stepping stone to glory comes against Juan Manuel Suarez (15-6) at Cage Warriors 73, which takes place November 1st at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle.

Wallhead's Cage Warriors comeback provided a rather disappointing shock when he was finished by Danny Roberts at CWFC 68, something that hadn't happened for nearly eight years, however he is fully aware that MMA is based on short-term memory, Wallhead said: "It's not the greatest start to my Cage Warriors comeback but I know if I put a few more wins together it will soon be forgotten, it is what it is.

"I've used it to make myself work harder and get better, it's in the past now and i'll just move forward."

Following a lot of early success in his career, 'Judo' Jimmy believes he has ran into some bad luck over the past few years, but now is the time to move forward, he stated: "I think I've just been unlucky, I plateaued a little bit for a few years, but I feel like right now that I'm back at the beginning of my career.

"After 10 years fighting as a pro I genuinely feel like this a kickstart, I'm happy to be in the gym again, maybe I lost the hunger and weren't being pushed, but I've found that again now."

You can listen to the entire interview right here, Wallhead talks more about the difficulties throughout his career, his upcoming fight with Suarez and his hopes of a Welterweight championship bout.
