“Yeah, jump a guillotine. Try to keep the fight in the middle of the octagon. Keep your back off the fence... looking back [when I fought him] I worried so much about his wrestling, I couldn't get off my combination, my footing. I was worried about the shots. I didn't do what I do well. He just has to stay out of his own way and fight his fight - jokingly advices to Jack Della Maddalena via UFC 322 Q&A.”

“Oh, that's a tough one, bro. I think Islam is a better complete fighter. He is better on the feet, but grappling, I think Khabib is better than Islam. - answers for a question 'Who is better : Islam Makhachev or Khabib Nurmagomedov?' via UFC 322 Q&A”

“I think both guys are great at certain things. It’s all going to come down to the takedown defense of 'JDM.' If he can get back up to his feet, if he can use the fence, or stay off the fence, use his boxing, I think he definitely could give Islam a lot of trouble in the center of the octagon. He’s a great striker. He’s big and powerful. - Shares his thoughts on UFC 322 main event via MMA Fighting.”

“Islam is not a small man... He’s a guy who’s been holding his body back from naturally being bigger like he wants to be, so he can compete in the lightweight division... He’s going to look like a solid welterweight in a title fight. But it’s going to come down to his ability to get takedowns and hold JDM down. If JDM can get back up over and over and scramble, I think he’s going to give Islam a lot of problems with the exchanges of boxing - Shares his thoughts on UFC 322 main event via MMA Fighting.”

“A lot of people are asking me, 'What's up with Aspinall? What's up with the eye poke?' I don't know. Only he knows how bad it was. But I've been in a lot of fights where I've got eye poked and I continued -reacts to UFC 321 eye poke incident.”

“Honestly, man, I'm not sure. Tom Aspinall is good, but everybody is so high on him. What's his longest fight in the UFC? I haven't seen the guy ever in the third round. I've never seen the guy have to fight himself back into a fight. I've never seen him on the stool bleeding... He's been blowing past these guys... He's a great fighter, explosive, skilled, but I've never seen him really tested.So, until I see him tested and fight himself back in a fight and win, I can't be on the same train as everybody else, like, you know, waving that flag because people are talking like he's the next biggest thing. And he might be, but I'm not sold yet - via Bohnfire podcast”

“That's a tough one, bro. He's shown no weakness, but Styles make fights.-answered for question "Is there anyone who poses threat to Ilia in his division?"”

“Charles vs. Max for BMF is a great fight to make- Reacted after Oliveira's win over Gamrot”

“With four-ounce gloves, even though we don't think of Gamrot as a power, one-hit puncher, he is... Gamrot's boxing game has improved so much over the past two years. I think he's going to surprise a lot of people.- about Gamrot's fight against Oliveira”

“When I think about fighting Charles, he is a very front and back fighter. You need to be more lateral. Gamrot needs to use footwork and be all the way in or all the way out. With a guy like Charles, he's long and strong in the clinch, and he uses it very well. He'll throw a front kick, then get into the clinch, smother your boxing. I think Gamrot, with his wrestling experience, he'd be able to pick where the fight goes. If he wants to stand up, he can do that. If he wants to go to the ground, he can take it there... Gamrot is a really good scrambler and wrestler. Don't stay on the straight line with Charles. -Via MMAJunkie”

“Maybe a spelling bee competition vs Nathaniel would be the hardest fight of both of our careers”

“He wants that title back, he wants revenge, he wants to show that wasn't him in the last fight, and he's too dangerous of a fighter to go in there and not find that shot this fight. I think it's going to be a KO/TKO.”

“Zuffa Boxing 12rnds me and Nathaniel I'd do it. Only 1 more fight I'd take”
