The brutal routine is nothing new for the ex-military man, who has trained names such as Jon Jones e Tony Ferguson. However, the results are controversial: while 'Bones' won Cyryl Gane in 2023, Ferguson accumulated his seventh consecutive defeat in the UFC 296, in front of Paddy Pimblett, even with intensive preparation.
