He would’ve gotten beat like that even earlier within the combat. Pieced up with fingers? Come on, bro. That’s what I do. Individuals bought recency bias and issues like that. If anyone thinks that Khalil is on my degree, let’s see him go and win a combat as a result of he’s not even – we’re not even in the identical bracket proper now.

He’s bought to get a win earlier than he will get up and earlier than that’s even a factor. And if he does get a win, and that ever does materialize to be a factor, anyone who thinks he can beat me, wager $1 million on it. Wager your home on it. Actual speak. I wager no one going to wager nothing that they actually wish to lose on that. No person’s taking that wager.”
