"You know, it's odd. It's his mindset. He's been that person since he's 18. Driving a banged up one litre car that we had to push to get started and in his head, he'd be blaring some of that rap that he likes. Shades on and driving down the road thinking he's in a Rolls. Now he's in the Rolls, but the attitude's the same! I don't see a massive difference in him." "He's matured, of course... He has a son now. Settling down a little bit (laughs). But yeah, in terms of his attitude and his confidence and you might say arrogance, his bold predictions, how he carries himself - that really hasn't changed all that much... That's just been who the guy he's been for as long as I can remember."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1012981319419224065
"I think you can give him all the money in the world, but try to get him to do something else other than train or watch fights and you're going to see a guy start to get bored very, very quickly. He's got a hyperactive brain and it's a brain that's very sharp in the business world, but he's lit up when it's a fight." "I don't care if it's two gorillas in an enclosure or a big fight on a Saturday night, it's really what gets him buzzed up. All the other shiny stuff he buys, it's a quick rush, but it goes away. I know he's going to be training in my gym until he's bringing his son down. He already has his son throwing a few punches and kicks already. That's the side where I see him light up more than any gold watch could give him."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1010545390448504832
"I really have seen the spark back lately that I think was directed at other areas of his life for a while. Like, I said, building up his business world which is completely justified. I absolutely agree with what he was doing because we all know the hard luck stories of fighters retiring and being broke and they get pats on the back and then they're forgotten. So, I supported that and I'm fully behind it." "But, I do see the spark back. I do see him very hungry again. You know, coming down and just jumping in the regular jiu-jitsu class throwing his gi on, back doing those classes, back doing strength and conditioning. There's a real fire back there."The sooner the Khabib fight gets booked, the better.
