“im comin to knock his ass out wif the utmost respect” 😭😭😭 lewis had me rolling

[yaboi-sqpm]

'get him rob, get him rob" tai is too good 🤣

[seancbrophy]

Lewis vs. Tuivasa is a prime example of how the world can still be hyped to see two men fight without all the hatred, shit talking, social media drama and theatrics.

[make.one.studio]

Damn how can you hate Rob. He’s such a cool dude.

[khaleelshaik]

Robert is a kind man, lot of respect to this man

[jamiewalker]

Loved the vibe of this press conference.

[aliceluvssharks]

These guys are just all so chill. This card gonna be amazing!

[johnh]

Love both these dudes. Rob always brings it and never has a boring fight while izzy might be the most technical in the game. Looking forward to this one!!

[lionsden]

So great seeing 4 absolute monsters showing genuine respect to one another.

[CommandCenterHeadquarters]

Shoulda brought out Brunson and cannonier as well spice it up with the middle weights

[os.j]

Whittaker is a very respectable dude like his demeanour. Wouldn’t be so mad if my dude izzy lost to a class act like him.

[kingpin]

That "Eh, probably not" from Tai was hilarious

[sunburn]

All 4 of them have very likable personalities definitely watching this!

[justinodonnell]

Derrick and Tai both have a similar style, really excited to see how they clash

[bluex]

My love of beer, bbq food, anime and video games are all coming together with this card. Happy for whatever fighters take it.

[dfc-discordfightingchampio]

Gotta love that that friendship between Lewis & Tuivasa. Can't wait for them to 'swang and bang!'

[bushisback]

I think I speak for most mma fans when I say we prefer not to hear about NFTs or the Nelk boys

[raulchico]

Rob and Izzy are the elite of the elite. Looking forward to this one👌

[charliebackman]

Izzy having Joe Rogan's back was a great highlight too.

[rollo_tomasi]

This press conference definitely needed Derrick Lewis... This man is a national treasure 🙌
