You should’ve kept your father out of this. He was the one calling me a short guy and saying you’d smash me, all while holding a beer in his hand. Then you started talking about my divorce and telling the world you wouldn’t want to be my roommate. Idiot. First, we’re https://t.co/siCzS9rNUj

Justin crossed a line. What happened between my ex-wife and me is our business. We may no longer be together, but she is the mother of my daughter. To everyone insulting her or speaking about things they know nothing about: show some respect. You don’t have to respect our

Fathers hope. Champions know. I’ve heard this story before: bigger men, stronger men, better men. Men who said I was just a small guy who was about to get a lesson in humility. They all learned the truth the same way. Your son already knows who I am. On June 14th, you will https://t.co/gh92btnpDG

The biggest win of your career came with steroids. So that’s where your confidence comes from? Interesting https://t.co/Vz2Yl4WaO8

YOU BUILT YOUR NAME
ON HYPE I BUILT MINE
BY PUTTING LEGENDS TO SLEEP I WOULD GIVE YOU
A BOXING LESSON WE ARE NOT
ON THE SAME LEVEL BRING THE GUY
YOU FIGHT IN SEPTEMBER I WOULD BEAT
BOTH OF YOU
IN THE SAME RING https://t.co/iJPUtEEvkI

Once again Islam comes up with an excuse. This time it’s an injury. I always knew I would be part of the White House event. Even when the UFC told me at one point that they wouldn’t count on me for the event, I knew it was part of the negotiation. When they finally told me I

Little sausage, the only thing you had to do was beat a 38 year old guy. You just lost the biggest paycheck of your life. You were going to get rich if you won. Justin, all I can say is congratulations… and I’d like to tell you to get ready, but you’re screwed no matter what.

I won’t be fighting in the first quarter of next year. I’m going through a difficult moment in my personal life. I want to focus on my children and resolve this situation as soon as possible. I don’t want to hold up the division. The UFC will make the matchups needed, and as soon

Arman, every time we see each other in person you freeze up like a scared duck with no idea what to do. You know I handle you however I want. I fight whoever the UFC chooses. And remember I slapped you and you just laughed, then you go around acting like a gangster. So keep https://t.co/1O9S3PKOU1

Jack needs an entire camp dedicated just to wrestling. What a disappointment of a champion. You should go to Georgia to learn something. Islam, you need something you can’t train: emotion. You’re the most boring thing in this game. Every day I’m more certain I put you to sleep.

Resilience isn’t trained, it’s forged. I forged mine through blows, falls, and days when all I had left was to believe in myself. It isn’t born from talent or strength; it’s born from refusing to give up when everything turns against you, from standing firm when fear shows up. https://t.co/EEVhw2vrsI

Something different is coming tomorrow… something that also shows who I am outside the octagon. At 10:00 AM I’ll be sharing something that means a lot to me and my team. 🔥 Stay tuned

Brother, we’ve reached the point where your victories seem almost normal. but we all know how hard it is to get there. I say it with pride: you’re a living legend!!!! an example of hard work, sacrifice, and heart. Beyond the fighter, you’re an incredible person, with a soul too https://t.co/Rd2lBdeMlH

You say you’re an MMA fan but you don’t even know who I am… interesting. The first time we met you told me ‘good luck this week with your fight.’ Your memory fails you… and soon your chin will too. I’ll represent the entire MMA community. Pound-for-pound #1 in real fights vs https://t.co/eM08eo3pBu

First he calls me drunk… then he walks out to MY song. Crawford, whenever you want, I’ll teach you how to dance that mariachi in the ring. And Canelo, I’ll save you a round after him.
