"He could take out Khamzat [Chimaev]."

"Fluffy absolutely crushed that performance, The energy, the passion, the stage presence, everything was on point. Truly unforgettable and inspiring!"

"Fluffy almost k*lled Dolidze. That choke and the way he finished the fight was so entertaining."

"We fkn love a champ who acknowledges contenders and promotes the division. After [Chimaev], theres great fights to be had. I say [Nassourdine] Imavov/Caio Borralho winner is next, but they should do 'Fluffy' vs. 'RDR' for the shot after that."
