• Love it when guys are brutally honest. Nice to see
• That’s all it is. He knows JJ is better but if he lost he wanted zero doubt of it. The chance that maybe someone took away an opportunity for you to be the best is tough to swallow, no matter how small it is.
• I really enjoyed this, DC is fun to listen to when he’s not being a company man.
• I can imagine he kicks like a horse, i have trained with people who have that build and they kicks are HARD.
• Man DC is such a class act. Funny af and also honest with himself.
• You can say all you want about DC, he seems like a good dude
• Always feel so bad for DC. You can see it in his eyes how bad he wanted to find out who was really better, with no drugs no bullshit.
