“Oh Nathan, coming into my dressing room before my fight? Throwing drinks like a p*ssy. Will settle this if u ever get out of your UFC contract. Until then let’s change the game. I got big plans. I invite you to join Anderson & I to launch the United Fighters Association. In?”Oh Nathan, coming into my dressing room before my fight? Throwing drinks like a pussy.
