""Robelis is a good fight and a great challenge. He comes from taekwondo, he's very fast, has dangerous kicks, straight punches and I have my background in boxing, so it’s going to be an interesting clash of styles.""
""The training sessions are intense here with Renan 'Problema,' who is even taller than Despaigne. He should also be fighting soon, so he's helping me a lot in this camp.""
""I'm very happy with this invitation from Netflix. Combat sports needed a movement like this. This is where I wanted to be, and I'm sure the event will be a huge success not only because of the great fights but also because of the impressive audience they already had in boxing will be certainly repeated now in MMA.""
