It started to get noisy. Tables getting flipped over, guys running in with guns. They were telling me to get down, I didn't get down. It was f--king awesome. I literally took every minute of it in. And it was pretty crazy, unique experience.

"Since 2014, I've been part of the UFC, building my name, proving myself, and showing what I'm capable of inside that octagon. After 32 fights, I can proudly say I've never been submitted or knocked out. I've always stepped in there with heart, discipline, and respect for the game."
