Johnson on the battle’s essential minute
“Oh, sh * t, that motherf * cker was difficult. He was a tough-ass guy. I wasn’t anticipating that out of him.

I was anticipating that his jiu-jitsu was going to be a lot much better than it was thinking about that he simply got his black belt a couple weeks back.
“We did not prepare for no damn submission at all. That was the outermost thing from my mind. My jiu-jitsu coach is constantly believing, ‘Strangle someone, break a bone’– we’re constantly believing that. I was absolutely simply desiring to injure him. He was yapping of sh * t on Instagram, so I was much like, ‘Yeah, all right, you believe you’re a pet? Program me that pet dog.’ Which’s where my pride can be found in to play a bit and I needed to reveal him I was a pet dog and sh * t.”

“I can do a lot better. Sorry. I’m a lot more technical than that. I much like to eliminate. My coaches were yelling at me and they were attempting to inform me do not brawl with this man. I enjoyed it. I believe I must simply stay with the strategy that we select next time. I might have gotten that surface a very long time earlier. I simply delighted in getting hit and striking someone. It’s been a while.”

“What are your prepare for the next one? Do you have a challenger in mind or a time you ‘d like to return or anything like that? I believe it’s a little prematurely for callouts. No callouts required. When they desire me, I’m here– send me the agreement and what’s up.”
