I want to clear something up because I’ve been receiving a lot of hate over something I said in a recent interview about Anthony “Rumble” Johnson.
Anthony beat me in the Octagon. That’s a fact and I have nothing but respect for him as a fighter !!!
When I said that I was still a winner because I’m alive today – YES !!!
I NEVER meant that his passing was somehow my victory … That’s not who I am and that’s not what I believe !!!
I’ve fought cancer THREE TIMES myself. Three times I had to face an opponent much bigger than anything I’ve ever faced inside the Octagon.
And believe me – when you’ve been through something like that, , you understand how precious LIFE really is.
English is my second language. Sometimes the words that come out of my mouth don’t fully express what’s in my heart or my head . I take responsibility for how my words sounded , that’s actually 2d time I have to apologize for saying something wrong and I’m truly sorry to anyone I hurt or offended , only SMART PPL WHO CAN USE BRAINS 🧠 , especially Anthony’s family and loved ones !!!
What I was trying to say is that the greatest victory in life isn’t about winning a fight. It’s about being alive, being grateful and having another chance to wake up tomorrow morning !
None of us knows what tomorrow will bring !! Not me , Not you , Nobody !!!
Anthony won our fight. Nothing will ever change that.
Cancer is not a competition. Death is not a victory. LIFE is the GIFT .
Rest in peace, Anthony “Rumble” Johnson 🙏
