Even as you occur to’re combating a bigger extensive establish, that better extensive establish will elevate your profile. When I went into the fights with Jon Jones, Jon Jones’ profile changed into once so huge that he elevated me. Then after I fought Stipe (Miocic), it did the an identical ingredient.”

For as many title defences as he’s had, he has no longer had that establish. For as stunning as TJ Dillashaw changed into once, Henry Cejudo, Petr Yan, folks weren’t indubitably tuning in to behold them. They invent out tune in to behold Sean O’Malley.”
