They forgot after they began giving combat playing cards numbers as a substitute of names and after they began placing everyone in the identical actual uniform. I really feel like there’s an enormous alternative to indicate what individuals miss in MMA and creating premier fights that characteristic characters that individuals love. I feel that is only the start, if it’s the big success that I count on it to be. Hopefully there’s a partnership there sooner or later with me and MVP.”
