While speaking to Ariel Helwani, ‘Poatan’ clarified that he does not have revenge on his mind. He said, “I’m gonna fight him like if I had never fought over this stuff.” He further added, “Sometimes you can take certain things to heart, just like on the street. If a guy starts brawling with your brother, you get angry because it’s your brother. You go over there, get beat up, and you get knocked out. So, he tries to avoid bringing that type of emotion inside. He just focuses on good diets, good rest, and good training. He goes over there and performs.”
