I will finish Justin Gaethje within the first three rounds

We're not gonna see championship rounds... he's getting finished in the first three. I'd love to knock him out. You know what I mean? With a cartwheel kick or something... But I'm gonna finish him lad.

The UFC should implement a rule requiring submissions after prolonged ground control

Jake Paul purposely lost to Tommy Fury to make the rematch more profitable

The conspiracy part of Twitter... they were saying that Jake Paul, in order to sell the next fight purposely knew that it would be bad if he won this fight. I think the storyline's better for a second fight... because no one would want to watch another one if he just beat him.
