“[Ilia] is going through a divorce. Wife supposedly trying to take 50%. God dude, that sucks, and it's all public. Which makes it even f**king worse... When you're going through that type of s**t, you definitely don't want to be in fight camp. That's why he didn't book a fight.I do genuinely feel bad for him, and oh, he's got two kids. When you add kids to the mix, that's what really makes it just so hard to deal with. It's unfortunate for him”

– via his YouTube channel, commenting on Ilia Topuria's personal struggles and decision to take a break from fighting.

“I don't think the UFC will make Arman vs Ilia because I think they love Ilia as a champion. I don't think they really want Arman to become champion. Arman has a legitimate chance of beating Ilia. If anyone has a chance at beating Ilia at 155, it's Arman Tsarukyan”

– expressing his belief that the UFC may avoid the Arman Tsarukyan vs. Ilia Topuria matchup to protect their favored champion

“Oh my god, Islam. Who’s gonna beat Islam? I just don’t know who the hell can beat Islam. I don’t know if anybody can. F**king Islam vs Khamzat? At 185, f**k it. They’ve got very similar styles. Maybe Khamzat’s too big, but you can’t count Islam out. Imagine him going up to 185, champ champ champ”

– via his YouTube channel, reacting to Islam Makhachev's victory at UFC 322 and discussing his dominance and a potential fight with Khamzat Chimaev.

“To question Tom's toughness is insane. No one wanted that more than Tom Aspinall. He wanted to fight. He wanted to fight more than we wanted to watch him fight.”

– supported Tom Aspinall for quitting after the UFC 321 eye poke incident.

“If Tom Aspinall goes out there and wins, what happens to his career after that? That's the Jon Jones potential fight at the White House. There is so much that Tom missed out on because of the super unfortunate, sad [outcome], and it would've made the heavyweight division a lot more fun... The crowd was insanely loud. I guess it [Aspinall vs. Gane] was a big fight. Would you watch it again? Do you make that fight again? Jon doesn't want to fight Tom, Alex doesn't want to fight Tom”

– reacted to UFC 321 main event eyepoke issue

“I don’t see really anyone being [able to beat him]. I do think I’m the only one… I hate to say it. I hate to f*cking say it. I’m the only one who could beat him. Give me a shot at the White House. I gotta go out there and get some wins. I gotta get some wins. But, I don’t see anyone really beating Merab anytime soon. He needs to be knocked out and put to sleep to beat him. I just don’t really see anyone other than myself being able to do that”

“First UFC fighter to take 100 takedowns.Only 5 of those were on me. I didn't let him get that many takedowns on me because I didn't get up.”

“Ilia Topuria is pound for pound the greatest fighter to ever walk the earth,Greatest fighter, pound for pound, ever. Even over [Jon] Jones, I think. His last three fights, KOes. He KOes Volkanovski, KOes Max Holloway, KOes Charles Oliveira. He’s not beating these guys in a decision. He’s not taking them down and holding them down. He’s knocking them out.“”

“I like that matchup a lot,so me vs. Song, if that's what's next, hell yeah.”
