“I said i wanted to fight kamaru usman next. Although the media doesn't believe in this fight, as i can see. But in my opinion, usman would steamroll through these up and comers like morales, prates, the striker. Those guys haven't been checked yet. I think usman would be the hardest fight for me, and in terms of media, we could build it up like a former champion, the most title defenses in my weight division. We could promote this fight and make it fun to watch.”
– via Red Corner MMA, claiming that Kamaru Usman would be his "hardest fight" at welterweight and that the fight makes the most sense from a promotional perspective, given Usman's history

“F**k, what a masterclass. When you’re going to fight a guy like merab, that is the masterclass. He put on a clinic... His training camp must’ve been hell, had to be hell, and he looked like it. I saw some videos of it. Some wild strength and conditioning, and plyometrics. He knew what he was in for. That’s the thing, if you’re going to fight a guy like merab, you know what the mountain is. Are you ready to climb it?”

“That kinda sucks. That would screw up the division. I would rather that didn't happen, if i'm being honest... I think you only get to move up if you sweep through the division, like when izzy [israel adesanya] did it... He had already smoked everybody in the [middleweight] division... I think there's pressure to get pereira at heavyweight because he's getting older. He's had wars. How long has he been active in combat sports? 20 years? That's a lot of sparring rounds, a lot of wear and tear. They probably want to get the value out of him before his body starts breaking down”
– via an interview with James Lynch, expressing concern that Alex Pereira moving up to heavyweight would "screw up the division," and suggesting the move is being pushed because of Pereira's age and career wear and tear.

“I think he can do it. I think he can do it if he takes time and puts weight on… cause he is tall and also the thing is these gaps in wrestling, these gaps in grappling, when the guy’s a really good grappler, when you are taking on dricus [du plessis], who is really a striker. He is a good grappler, a good jiu jitsu guy but there are levels and the kind of guy like khamzat, like man, you gotta be a f****g olympic level wrestler to scrap with that guy”
– via podcast with Brendan Allen, praising Khamzat Chimaev and suggesting that he could successfully move up a weight class if he gains weight, noting that Chimaev's elite grappling skills (which he compares to "f****g Olympic level wrestler" status) give him a massive advantage.
