“So, Kudos! to you for that, you get a handclap but second side of it you done it the dirty way you didn’t really do it on your own merit and just your own blood, sweat and tears kinda thing so I’m little annoyed by that.” He added.

Last time I checked, you got your face punched in by Cory Sandhagen; that did not happen to me and last time I checked Cory Sanhagen had a really really tough fight with Petr Yan; that did not happen to me. So I do like my odds in this one.”
