Speak up, Justin!

“This sport is so crazy that anything can happen at any time. I don't think Dariush will be afraid of the ground game. It creates and causes a lot of damage. If Charles goes down, he won't be afraid to go with him to the ground, just like Makhahev did and submitted right after. I think this scenario can happen”, opined Gaethje. "After my loss, there was no reason to think about the next fight at that time. I was definitely never against this fight. It will be fun. We all say crazy things. I was young, dumb, hungry and he is hungry and young. This is a dangerous combination. He's a formidable opponent, there's no doubt about that and I'm ready. I think that's just him trying to get excited. He's challenged me several times, but I don't think about him constantly. I think about being perfect, that's where I have it success. I'm 100% focused. If that's not my focus, I won't be here anymore. I don't see any reason to continue if I don't feel capable of being the best. I'm going to prove how skilled I am, how elite a fighter I am", he declared the fighter, in an interview with the American 'ESPN'.

Speak up, Leon Edwards!

“For him, the fight was going in his favor. What has he changed? The way he fought me last time is the way he fought me. the way he fights. I can't see him, in the space of five, six months, becoming a totally different fighter. I don't see that happening. A knockout affects everyone differently. Is he 35, 36 now? Coming off a KO and fighting the same guy who just knocked you out, let's see how he comes back and reacts. This will also be available. his first time fighting in the 'backyard' from someone. ’ the show in my city. I never lost in England. I use the crowd as energy. I don't see how he could make it to this point.   and defeat me”, evaluated Leon.

Speak up, Kamaru Usman!

"I will fight to dominate. That never changed. The only thing you really have to take into account, and I know you hear these excuses from him a lot, is That wasn't the first time that Edwards and I had fought. The first fight looked a lot like the second. So, if he wants to believe it was the altitude, it is. what is. He can believe it. Doesn't change for me. Altitude or no altitude, I know what I came to do. When trauma like this happens, most people are distraught.   When are you?   talking about ordinary people. Edwards and I both know that I am not ordinary. I am extraordinary. He will open the door for me, because I am the king. The funny thing about this is; I feel like he is. forgetting what happened for 24 minutes in the last fight. What do you know? What has he done in those two fights that leads him to believe he's the best? a better MMA fighter than me?", he declared.
