It is insane … however you are not them. And that is why it is insane to you. You are not them and that is why you may by no means be something if that is insane.

“I believe final weekend [Khamzat] didn’t perceive that he was the largest loser within the Usman versus Leon scenario as a result of he was in line. All he needed to do was get previous Diaz. All he needed to do, get previous Diaz, you battle for the championship, however with Leon Edwards successful now, now we obtained a trilogy and rightfully so.”
