      Volk does a pretty good job of checking the gentleman’s box. How many gentlemen fighter does the UFC need to fill the character balance towards UFC’s marketing, fan appeal, and social expectations? All they need are fighters that fight well and a few crazy iconic brawls from time to time and they’ll continue to sell tickets and pay per views, not necessarily the persona fighters put off when the cameras are on them. Narcissists get people to believe they are such a good and trusting person in the beginning, so to hear people talk, doesn’t really draw me to the sport and promotions of UFC, good fights do. Following the fighters over time, give you a better perspective to the person on and off the camera, not a press conference where many fighters are trying to gain or provoke an emotional response from their opponents a week before the fight.

      Dricus made that statement to Sean when Sean made derogatory remarks just like U have now, blowing yr Coach isn’t professional, what’s wrong with U 🤡
      But let’s discuss Sean, so it’s okay for Sean to cross the line, which he does All the time, speaking of mma fighters who died, 2 of them, making fun of Khalil Rowntree when he spoke of his mental health issues, of fighters wives & kid’s, the list goes on & on, so that’s okay for Sean, but Dricus fires back & Sean wants to play Victim & his Fanbase even more, lastly as for Sean piecing Dricus apart over 5rnds 🤦‍♂️🤣 that is definitely not happening, this fight is not going past the 3rd, either Sean gets KO’d within 2rnds or TKO/GNP in the 3rd,
      Listen to this Interview, Dricus is a very Pvt person, this is the first time he is even bringing up that Sean sent an apology to him, as he says he would not have spoken openly about it, But Sean has now, Sean sent an apology to Dricus apologising for saying thing’s, Wake Up u 🤡
