There will come a time when I will be known as a world champion. Between now and then, I'll enjoy the journey to the top.

In regards to Ferguson, we should commend him for taking this fight when he had every right to wait for Khabib. Ferguson is not human. The damage he absorbed did not make him waiver in the slightest and he continued to pursue the win. He’s one of a kind, he’s an anomaly. #ufc249.

A decision was made by the New York State Athletic Commission to pull me from UFC 223. I’m devastated to say the least. @Showtimepettis I hope to run this match up ASAP, June 9th in your backyard. That’s all I have to say for now. Much love.

Anyone who says they saw this coming is a liar.
Nate Diaz will return against Leon Edwards in the co-main event of UFC 262 on May 15, sources told @arielhelwani. It will be the first five-round non-title co-main event in UFC history.

“A sentiment we can all relate to”. Sorry bud I’m not a cheater. I don’t relate. Take your philosophical BS elsewhere. You sound like the leader of a cult & you’re the one that made the EPO that TJ popped for. You condoned all of this. Put the thesaurus down & just own up to it.

A lot of people saying the Mike Perry hype train is derailed. I believe this was a little too fast of a turn around for him after that war he had with Ponzinibbio. He’s only 26 and has a high ceiling in terms of his potential. Don’t count this man out yet. #UFCOrlando.

Cain shouldn’t serve any jail time. In the heat of the moment, what man wouldn’t have a lapse in judgement to protect his family. The focus should be on the man that committed crimes much worse than what Cain did. I’m thankful he only has to serve 5 years instead of 30.
