He tweeted, “What an incredible night for my brother @usman84kg! What an improvement in his striking game! He’s known as a wrestler but he’s been putting guys in a striking clinic in such a clean & dominant way. So if you can’t wrestle him and you can’t strike him then what else can you do? Nothing. He came out tonight and made a huge statement and proved that he’s the undisputed Champ for a reason.”
