I'm not really sure how to engage with the eye talk on Tom Aspinall, but I think he's a fantastic fighter.

You know, I feel like getting poked in the eye sucks.

And I just don't know how he feels that he got, you know what I'm saying?

And nobody ever knows.

But, you know, critics are going to go online and say X, Y, and Z. But I'm just going to stand in the middle ground.

I think Tom's a fantastic fighter.

Ciro is great also.

And I think a lot of them are also great also.

You're going to always say it's really shallow.

And I believe it's shallow too.

And I believe I can go out there and do the best I can and really dominate when I need to.

But just when I see Tom Aspinall, you know, Tom Aspinall reminds me of a guy from Turkey that I wrestled in the Olympics.

He was a 2016 Olympic champ.

His name is Taha Akgul.

He was 6'4", same size as Tom.

Same build, same everything.

And I went out there and I beat him 8-0.

And I was in his face for that six minutes.

And I let him know that I was here.

And I feel like in that instance, that's when the tides change.
