The moment I signed with Bellator, I saw all the champions up there on the banners and I said to myself that i want to be up there with them some day. Now it feels like everything has come together.”
“Theres only one message that I want to give out to all the fighters out there and that’s please listen to your body.

Bellator MMA will always be my home.”

Quote: “Everything I thought was going to happen heno, happened. Every time he was going to go for a take down, I wanted to make him pay for it.” Dywedodd Gonzalez. “I had to keep him busy and make him scramble. My plan was to box with him and then keep him away with the leg kicks. I wanted to make him work and get him tired and it proved to be effective in the third round.

I just train them and put the tools in their hands. They are much better fighters than I ever could be in this cage, so I want to be as good as I can, so that I can give them a voice.”
