No disrespect to Whittaker, I know I can beat him.

I came into MMA and I had a strong core and a lot flexibility. I could put myself in a lot of different positions when it comes to scrambling.

I like to be aggressive, I like to finish fights.

MMA is a sport. We go out here and we do battle. Everybody has family, friends, they train really hard.
