That is actual, this isn’t fabricated bulls*** when somebody desires to come back out with a gimmicky wrestling-type factor. That is who these two guys actually f***ing are, man, that is what makes folks actually love [the UFC]. You understand when somebody is genuine, versus some bulls*** f***ing wrestling s***.”
