WHO SAID THIS?: “That’s no problem because people usually don’t know exactly what I can do. I have to show it in the fight. It’s better this way than to have everyone think you are incredible and then nothing happens in the fight. It works better. Over here, I’m a striker. In Holland, I’m a submission fighter. I think after a couple of fights, people will know.”
