- Sean “Do you know who i am?” O’Malley

- I hate how he brags on anything to do with this fight, yeah he outclassed Moutinho big time but that kid showed bigger heart during that fight than O’Malley ever might. Kris took a fight with a superstar on a weeks notice, give him some credit.
- That guy got called up from regional fighting that week and lasted the whole fight.
