“He [Gamrot] looked like he was just blown after the first round. Five minutes in, and he was huffing and puffing, turning pink. Obviously, a huge gamble for Charles to take that fight only three and a half months after such a devastating knockout”

“Credit to him for stepping up to the plate and coming up to welterweight. Definitely got my respect for being able to move up a weight class and fight Jack Della.“It’s something that even the greatest lightweight of all time, Khabib, never managed to chase that accomplishment of being a two division champion. So credit to him but it is a huge ask.”

“Arman Tsarukyan has been running his mouth since he got to the UFC — discrediting what I’ve done. He’s a lippy little rich kid who’s had everything handed to him. If he walks up on me like he did with Bobby Green, that fight’s off. I’ll write that in my contract.”

“Arman is well rounded. Good everywhere, but a bit boring. If it stays on the feet, I’ve got the advantage — that’s obvious. But if he wants to wrestle, fine. He’ll just gas himself out. I’ve been improving my wrestling a lot. Let’s scramble.I’m not avoiding any part of this fight. I’ll meet him anywhere — standing, grappling, wrestling. I just believe I’m the better fighter. I’m going to take it from him.”
