He additionally tends to finish his matches dramatically, touchdown submissions at a better charge than most elite ocmpetitors.
The admitted steroid user’s credibility is being known as into query after his newest win, nevertheless. Over the weekend, he rapidly submitted Patrick Gaudio with an armbar on the WNO 20 occasion after calling his own shot and predicting the armbar stoppage (watch highlights).
