""It was one of the best times in my life, you know. I was like happy like a kid," Donchenko explained. " Every day I wake up, I order free food, I order whatever I want - breakfast - we train with big UFC superstars.""
""They bring many good fighters to the training for masterclass, for open training. I learned a lot of technique from the guys," he said. "I learned some technique from Rose Namanunas, they bring in her, from Brandon Moreno, from Yair Rodriguez, you know, and it was just like a dream.""
""I hope someone will lock me in the house for my next whole camp without phone, without nothing," Donchenko said. "I will be just like in the house, just stay focused for my camp, for my fight and that's it.""
Daniil Donchenko described life in the TUF house as one of the best times of his life and compared it to being a happy child. He enjoyed freedom to order food and daily training with prominent UFC stars. He credited visiting fighters and coaches for teaching important techniques, naming Rose Namajunas, Brandon Moreno, and Yair Rodriguez. He wants to recreate the house environment for a future fight camp by isolating without phones to maintain focus. He suggested smaller house populations in future camps, preferring just his team and possibly a girlfriend. His next fight airs on the prelims at UFC Vegas 113 on Paramount+ at 5pm EST.
