"He took me down in the first round. He's putting his chin in my eye. I'm trying to get his chin off my eye cause it f---ing hurt. And he goes, 'He's poking me in the eye.' I'm like, 'You're f---ing poking me in the eye.' He goes, 'Chin's legal, motherf---er.' I'm like, 'Here we go, we're in a fight, that's what we're here for.' It was just fun all around."
"The performance is what made it better... He moves so much. Doesn't matter how fit he is. I'm so fit. And even if he was slightly fitter than me, like if we went for a run. He is moving twice or three times the amount I'm moving. I'm pacing, I'm waiting for my spots. He can't keep that up forever."
