'Gamebred' has been one of many fighters that has been involved in a back-and-forth with 'The Notorious' in recent years, especially after winning the 'BMF' title. While speaking to Vlad TV, the Miami native mentioned that the Irishman avoided fighting him because of the size discrepancy and that a loss would affect his brand. He said:

"I think Conor [McGregor] knows I'm bad for his brand. I'm bigger than him, I'm gonna stand in front of him and I'm gonna beat the f*** out of him on the feet. I'm not gonna take him down...He's not ever gonna be the same cause I got a thing of breaking guys where they're never the same, especially if they choose to go that route." [0:12 - 0:29]

"If he fights and gets a victory and he wants this [BMF title]. And some of you motherf**** are mean, man, cause you know what the f*** I'll do to that little dude, bro. I'll f*** that little guy up, man...He don't want this sh*t, he's just talking so he could get his name out there." [2:08:33 - 2:08:54]
