What I love about Dustin is his attitude. He always is getting better, never cocky, comes ready for war everytime. Mad respect for both these legends

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.

Dustin like a modern day Robbie Lawler. Hates media, a lovable genuine guy but can be stone cold when he needs to be. And fights like a savage

@TheButcher-w7z Жыл бұрын

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.
