Fighting like that’s just one rule a Fight Club you know so obviously he’s not a real fighter.” He confidently adds, “When I break his jaw on Saturday he’s going to go back to the fake sh*t”

For so obviously. It’s true so it wouldn’t work if it was like some really, like a nice guy with like a nice family.” Danis proceeded to point out how the trolling was made a much bigger deal than it was meant to be.
However, an ethical dilemma arises when these attacks extend beyond professional boundaries. It encroaches upon the personal lives of opponents and their families. Danis’ case, is intertwined with the lawsuit filed by Agdal.
