the fact that jon anik lays no traps for some "clickbaiting titles" and gives dustin respect and privacy without forcing him to answer is just great to see. i mean who says "no comment is ok too" that is soo damn refreshing to hear. this is what it really looks like when someone who cares about fighters, interviews a fighter. no baiting, no phony "journalism" tricks. it also helps that jon anik is the best hands down.

at least Gaethje makes an effort with the media...Robbie's personality is next level boring. Not trying to bash on him I love his fighting style but having a conversation with Lawler is like watching paint dry.

I like the entire BMF thing, and the UFC should have been much smarter by making the BMF fights at a weight division that doesn't exist like 165 and 175, so that being a BMF won't be affected with the rest of the division considering that a fighter won't look bad later on losing his BMF status or just the illusion of it, which is being the baddest since both are on a 1 fight winning streak and got submitted against the number 1 ranked Oliveira, and this fight being at 165 would have justified the BMF belt much better.
