On November 17, 2025, Preisinger appeared as the featured guest on Jits Magazine's JitsCast podcast for episode 53. The conversation centered on his preparation for a high-profile grappling match against BJJ legend Xande Ribeiro, a multiple-time ADCC champion, scheduled for WNO 31 on December 5, 2025. The episode offered a detailed window into Preisinger's competitive mindset and the weight he placed on the matchup, making it a compelling document of his ambitions at that stage of his career.
The match ultimately did not take place as planned. Preisinger suffered an injury and was forced to withdraw from WNO 31 before the event, with Faris Ben-Lamkadem stepping in as his replacement to face Xande Ribeiro. Despite the withdrawal, the JitsCast #53 episode stands as a meaningful record of the preparation and intent surrounding the originally scheduled matchup, offering valuable insight into how Preisinger approaches competition at the highest levels of submission grappling.
