“I promise you this is a 100% true story. At 12 o'clock in the afternoon on fight day, Saturday, October 4th, Merab sparred 5 rounds in the cage live on the day of his fight. At 12 o'clock, not even half a day before he had to be in the arena.”

“If you think about a puzzle, I've never really seen this puzzle in person. I've got to go crack it. If and when I do, it's going to be very interesting to watch from a fighter and fan perspective. People who enjoy the strategy in fighting and stuff like that.”

“Yeah, I think the fans will enjoy it. The two guys in there, we're going to feel the pain. We've got to feel it. There's excitement behind it. There are good feelings behind it, but at the end of the day, being in that experience and actually cracking the puzzle, it'll feel good to get the job done and see it all together.”
