A lot more running and eating cleaner has helped the weight drop off fairly easy.  I started at 207 and today I checked in at 184 so we are on track and feeling great!” UFC welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman, has dominated the division with 15 straight wins, including five title defenses.  But Giles now his eyes set on that belt, “I definitely plan on sticking to this weight class, which is hard because I love food....but I feel this is the right weight class for me and will stick here to climb the ranks. I see some really good fights in my future.”   So what kind of fight can fans expect on Saturday?  Giles says whether they stand and bang, or hit the mat, he’s comfortable in any situation. “We know he has good wrestling so we have been working on that defense and always sharpening up my striking. Counter attacks are another thing that I like to work on.  I plan on being a complete martial artist and taking advantage of whatever openings I see.  I feel my game gives me the ability to adapt in many different areas,” says Giles.   You can support Giles on his quest for the UFC welterweight title by shopping for his [**merchandise**](https://millions.co/trevin-giles-mma) on MILLIONS.    [   ![](https://blog.millions.co/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-1.png?width=207&name=image-png-1.png)](https://millions.co/trevin-giles-mma/merch/tshirt-g-i-giles-by-trevin-giles-men-s-t-shirt-male)  [![G.I.
