“I don't even need to say anything because I already know that people are going to go online and they're going to look it up. They're going to see he didn't make the semifinals,” he shared [45:27 onwards]
He continued:
“He's going to hold on to his world championships from 2022 and his PR, and those are very impressive things. Not easy to get... He just believes that he's better, and to be honest, that's good for him. If he didn't believe that, he'd be pretty boring to compete against.”
