"For people that don't know, coach Cal and The Treining Lab, that's where you go to peak... It's not just something you do because it's 3:00 o'clock and the coach said, 'Practice at three.' There are very specific things going on. Those two aren't just flipping tires and climbing ropes together. They're sparring, they're wrestling, they're going with each other. Tsarukyan has something big; he knows it. It's in his back pocket and eventually it will be revealed to all of us."

"He looks sharp. So excited to see him as a UFC champion. So far, his camp is going well, [and] he's healthy. He has a lot of energy, and I'm just here to help him. If they need the wrestling, I’ll wrestle. If they need striking, I’ll strike. I want him to be a UFC champ."
