Even in the event you did get me to the bottom, I’m bouncing straight back up and I’m going to force you to fight on the feet anyway.
“That’s why I do know that style ain’t going to be boring if you fight me because nobody’s going to take a seat there and just control me able,” Volkanovski continued.
