"[Strickland] talks big game. He almost convinces me that he can do it. But being in there with Chimaev, having seen what Chimaev can do once he gets his hands on you, and he will, cause he shoots from so far away, and he commits wholeheartedly, he will get you to the mat."
"Seeing that he has the cardio to do that for five rounds as well. Gun to my head? Chimaev is going to run him over."
