“It’s huge. You drop two in the UFC (and you’re in trouble). I’ve only fought ranked killers since I’ve been in the UFC, so to finally come into my own and get a big finish, especially with all of the changes going on right now … It was a wild camp. It’s been a wild life. So it feels good for all of the hard work to pay off.”
