"I never seen a fight announced with the lights off, must be the lack of attendance to the most boring fighter in history."

"Mental Pressure - a term used when a top rank fighter is doing absolutely nothing but standing there but they gotta convince the public they are winning the fight ex. Loma is applying mental pressure to Lopez"

"The mf invented the cure for insomnia."

"The mf put himself to sleep that’s why he didn’t throw any punches."
