“Translation “I’m mad I didn’t get a win bonus for breaking the rules” real ironic after he was trying to flex cash at the presser”

“Probably shouldn’t have cheated bro.”

“Pay the man Dana .”

“Legit my man,we need our money”

“100% intentional. He was leading with his head, not his elbow (for everyone saying he was throwing an elbow). He knew what he was doing.”

“You have money though, you were flexing it”

“He went with his head forward. I call that lack of technique!”
