What Team I Want To Be On:

I give respect to both coaches, for me it does not matter. It is more important I am on the show. This is important that is it.

Extra Fact:

I train with Khamzat Chimaev and we train in the same gym. I do not care who is here, he (Chimaev) is bigger than me and stronger. After I wrestle with him (Chimaev) and spar, when I look at flyweight division – I don’t care who’s here.

What Is Your Dream Matchup:

Right now? Of course, Pantoja, he is the champion. When I go to the UFC, whoever is champion – that is my dream.

How would you describe your fighting style:

My fighting style is more striking, I am 3-time world champion of kickboxing. That means my skill is more striking.
