“Man, all that striking you're doing there, just to shoot in the first five seconds of the fight, is crazy work. So, khamzat, look, this is what i'm going to do for you. If you're able to stay on your feet for one round, just on your feet and not use wrestling, i'll give you $50,000. Oh, you heard me right, $50,000. Nassourdine, if you're able to match, that means that's $100,000. So khamzat, take that money or still show that you're a punk by using that wrestling in the first five seconds.”
