I love this sport and learning new things. I just cannot learn all these new techniques then not try them in competition.”
Bjarki identified grappling as the strongest aspect of his game, “I would say I am pretty well rounded, but grappling, jiu jitsu and wrestling appeal to me most.”

Bjarki had the following to say about his upcoming fight with Murrie, “I know not too much about my opponent, just that he has a good record. My fight camp was great and I feel very good for this fight. I think if this goes the distance it will the best fight on the card. We are both very good on our feet. It doesn’t matter to me that we are fighting for a title. The only title I care about is the UFC title.”
“I think I will finish him in the first or the second round.”
