This is a big deal, and I don't take many punishments. But also how my body is feeling. How are you feeling and how are you doing? my recovery.”

“As long as I am feeling healthy and not taking too many punishments, I will continue to do what I do,” You've been part of my camp since day one and probably know me more than myself and as a fighter. I want to keep fighting, and sometimes we're going to overlook the fact that maybe we shouldn't. So ;o, when he says it's over, it's over.

A magnificent person, wonderful fighter, beautiful striking, but beautiful striking is not always the case. effective.''
