“It was a great feeling landing those elbows... I wish it could've gone a little longer, because I promised to slap his face and I didn't get to do that”

– reacted on his Ankalaev fight

“I can't know, but if it was already injured, it hurt it even more [with the elbows]. You can't give excuses. I had a thousand excuses to say, but waited to say when we were about to fight again. They're already giving away [excuses] to maybe take away my merits, I don't know.”

– reacts to Magomed Ankalaev's team alleging rib injury prior to #UFC320 fight.

“When a manager has never been an athlete and wants to promote to gain fame and money, but you're the one in there risking your life, and he's outside laughing”

– reacted to Ali Abdelaziz's reaction on Ankalaev's loss.

“His coach is telling him to ask questions. He's like a little puppet.”

“That's his coach. Him and his manager want to appear more than the athlete.”

“He thinks I'm going to meet him, and I'm going to fight him. I'm not an idiot. ...He's a dogsh*t champion.”
