I really missed out on that one, not being able to share the ring with such a human being. At the same time, somewhere in my heart, I was glad that I got in trouble.That's one that everybody missed out on. He really intimidated me a lot. But yeah, man.

“I'd like to fight Alex Pereira at the White House. I feel like he's incredibly respectful. I feel like he's a household name in America and in MMA. Everybody knows who he is. He's a champion. He's in the conversation to be one of the greatest fighters of all time. It would be a blockbuster event. I think the whole world would come out...I beat many Brazilians over the course of my life. Either way that fight was to go, no one loses in that fight. It generates so many millions for the sport. There is just no losing when you have such high level people competing, who respect each other.”
