More coming for the Prince of War just gotta get my shit together. Thank you to the UFC and Dana White for being in my corner. Thank you coaches and training partners and agents First Round Management. Everyone did their job accept for me. This one is on me and there are no excuses for me lacking. I refuse to die but I have to reevaluate for sure.”
