Approx 5 years ago, after I won my fight in Manchester, a 16 year old kid asked me for a pic. He told me he’d be in the @ufc in a couple years. He wasn’t the 1st to tell me this but he’s 1 of the 1st to make these words come true. Congrats @muhammadmokaev #mma #ufc #thefuture

I was in the stands when he made his @ufc debut, couple months later we fought on the same card in Montreal. Now he is a dominant and very entertaining champ, I had the oppurtunity to ask him a couple questions. Thnx for your time @charlesdobronxs and can’t wait for UFC 280

Everybody leave my man Big Dan Miragliotta alone. Referees in MMA have a really hard job. IMO he was only trying to give me info to help me. Dan is also a genuinely good guy! Plus he gave you and me one of the best comeback wins in the history of UFC by not stopping this fight.

Almost 10 years ago I fought Pat Barry, I didn’t realize it’s been that long, unreal! The fight went to the ground in the 2nd round and I was able to lock in a triangle, Pat lifted me up like it was nothing (I was 260 pounds) and almost slammed me through the mat.

I don’t complain about the stoppage. I’m frustrated that 2 (unintentional) illegal blows take away my focus in a fight that I was clearly controlling and winning, and because of that I miss out on a big win bonus.
