I also want to thank all of my family friends who came out tonight."
Yeah **** him! My first time seeing him and I already want him to fail miserably because uhhh reasons.
We're seeing a lot of these American kids go pro very young. A lot of 17/18 year olds going pro and not sticking around in the amateurs
Exactly. Yo, **** that *****-made *****, ignore him. He/she is an insecure, effeminate, tree-hugging hippie ***** who hates on real fighters who can actually fight that don't look like him because he's a keyboard fighter who can't even win a fight over the interwebz. Stone cold BIATCH with a nasty smelly clam between it's legs.
See! As you guys can see by the typing in the post Yeyo is clearly sauced right now. Got him an Uber home after a wild night. Sleep well bud - Make sure to drink some water before you go to bed!
