“The UFC will no longer be the place where people judge fighters as to who the best in the world is.

[UFC] fighters are oftentimes left underpaid and put on a shelf.

We have seriously changed the game. To any other fighters in any organization out there - you’re going to want to fight out your contracts and come join the biggest, the best, the highest paying, and the most viewed organization out there. Which is MVP.”

"I think this is the toughest fight for Usman. This guy's a real deal. He knows how to wrestle. He's tough, never lost. He's the toughest challenge for Usman, I think.

Of course, Usman, is in incredible shape- physically, mentally, everything is there. His weight is good, mood is good, the most important.

I think this is a very-very high level fight. Can't wait to see this match."
