I just want to work my game and I believe I can do that.

Anyone that's watched my career knows that I finish fights and that I'm one scary dude to be in the cage with.

I'm going to be a great champion.

I believe I'm a similar style to Khabib when it comes to the ground and stuff, but I believe I've got a whole 'nother, higher level of striking.

Even just my basics are so effective against a guy like Max Holloway.

There are no excuses in fighting. You can be playing a team sport and have a good game, and you can lose. In fighting, it's all on me. If I go out there and lose, then it's my fault. I like that.

I've already took out the hardest guys in my division. Back to back we've got Chad Mendes, Aldo, and Max. Stylistically, they were the three hardest fights.

I'm an easy champion to understand.

I'll be honest when I tell you, Max Holloway is the hardest matchup out of everyone in our division. By far. And I was happy to take him back to back.

As I get better competition, I guarantee that more finishes are gonna come, because I'll really get to use more of my skill, rather than me knowing that I'm so much better than the guy.
