“I don’t understand their reasoning. I get beat up more in the gym than in a fight. Maybe it’s a Dutch mentality but we beat each other up in training, it’s crazy. We are professionals and there is a lot of money on the line. You share the same dreams and that’s becoming a champion and if you have to fight a friend, so be it.

Dana White would love this guy! Could be a big star in UFC.
