"Very scary, and very apprehensive a little but I just know what I'm doing. But this happened, it was pretty weird, it went faster than I thought It would go, you know. I was really nervous, before I was calm in the ring but I was actually nervous."

'The Baddest Man on The Planet' returned to the ring after 15 years. His last fight was against Kevin Martin McBride back in 2005. Even after 15 years away from the ring, at 54-years-old, he still looked sharper and more dangerous than many active fighters.
