    This was a weird scenario. These guys clearly just find the situation awkward and don't really want to make a scene out of anything. Much better built for Paddy/Molly, or even a Paul Craig type, where they're more talkative and willing to converse.

    @MrBicesterBoy Před 2 lety +53

    At 19:05 where Arnold fumbles his words and refers to a 'tickle in his balls', Adam looked at Dan for a reaction. In the moment, Dan chose not to take advantage of an opportunity to embarrass Arnold. An opportunity most, less mature men would have jumped on. I think that says a lot about Dan's maturity and how much he probably respects/likes Arnold - who is a very young, endearing man.

Arnold appears to suffer from the same issue that Islam did - none of the top guys wanted to touch him for fear of losing their spot. And Dan comes along with a 'name' and a take on anyone attitude. Like Dan said, either way the winner is going to reap the rewards... Best of luck gentlemen.

      Sick Idles shirt too. That might be my favourite design from all the tees they've dropped.

    It's nice that whoever is holding Dan in the concentration camp agreed to release him at least long enough to fight Allen.

    It's great to see 2 fighters being truthful and having respect for each other rather than fake trash talk bullshit

    I don't know either of these guys but I feel like I know & love both their characters - don't read too much into bravado or awkwardness, it won't matter when the cage door is shut.

    Dan is a beast. He's massive and he's making such a sacrifice, to make 145
