“My goal isn’t to be the champion, my goal is to be the best welterweight to ever do it, so for me to go out there and beat Leon, who beat [Kamaru] Usman twice, who everybody thought was the best welterweight to do it, then I’m ahead of him and I’m right underneath [Georges St-Pierre].”
“You give me Shavkat [Rakhmonov], you give me [Jack Della Maddalena], you give me Ian Garry, and then I walk through all of them, there’s nothing else. I’m just going to be cemented as the best to ever do it.”
