Moreover, he also said that he analyzes the fighters’ strategies and decision-making. “The average person does not know how to fight. I don’t know, I mean I might have watched a handful of those shows but I’ve seen a lot of real fights and people don’t know how to fight. I watch fights like a ref, I’m like yo man there is a part of me that’s like ‘think it through’. Don’t know, I’m a fight nerd though!”
