He is always going to be game. He is always going to be in your face and bring the fight to you and, you know, I like that style. I like when people do that.”

You know obviously my skills gone better, technique wise, but mentally I just know I am the best and when you are in there, and you know that, you just know it’s going to be your night,” he added.
