In an interview with the American website 'Bloody Elbow' this Monday (23), the California Boy defended the two fighters involved in the fight and did not take into account the statements of Sean Strickland.
I disagree with Sean Strickland"I'm not thrilled about this fight. First of all, Gina Carano wasn't bad. She was a tough fighter. Her father is my friend. He was a professional football player for many years and an incredible athlete. And she was a knockout artist; she was tough. I think she and Rousey are going to have a great fight. I'm excited. I wish it was on a UFC card. I hope they get compensated. The UFC… we're not worried about the UFC. They're in a good situation," he stated.
