While talking to Ariel Helwani on ‘MMAFightingonSBN’, he was quizzed about Garcia vs. Davis. To which he replied, “I doubt that would happen. I don’t think Ryan respect anybody.”

Ariel Helwani – “Really, he was tweeting up a storm on fight night.”

Haney – “Of course, he always does that. That’s best what he does, he’ll tweet up a storm, he’ll just call all these fighters out. The guy said he was fighting Pacquiao. Come on now, so the guy uses fighters to promote his fight and then after he wins his fight against nobody. He goes and fights another nobody, so this is a repetitive cycle for him. I really don’t give him too much attention because, I just, read between the lines. I know he doesn’t really want to fight anybody.”
