LINCOLN, R.I. (Sept. 8, 2011) –* Cody Lightfoot* doesn’t plan on turning his first trip to Rhode Island into an extended stay when he faces *Greg Rebello* at Twin River.

 

“I want to go in there and hurt him and put him out quick,” Lightfoot said Thursday at the weigh-in for his *Friday, Sept. 9, 2011* showdown against Rebello in the main event of “Road To Glory” at the Twin River Event Center, presented by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment & Sports.

 

“I went to get in and out of there. I just want to do business. I’m going in there to finish the fight. That’s what I’m planning for. I don’t want a decision. I want to finish him.”

 

Rebello (12-3, 6 KOs), a Providence, R.I., native, admitted he’s not “big into predictions,” but gave Lightfoot a stern, yet subtle, warning: “I know what I need to do.”

 

For Lightfoot (6-1, 4 KOs), a Somersworth, N.H., native, Friday’s main event will be his toughest test to date; Rebello (12-3, 6 KOs) won 11 consecutive bouts between 2005 and 2010 before losing to *Dan Cramer* at the Bellator Fighting Championships in April. Lightfoot hopes to one day follow in Rebello’s footsteps, perhaps using Friday’s main event to launch his career.
