What would it mean for you to fight in the UFC? The opportunity to repay the debt that Mr. White owes to Mr. Fertitta after this week by providing exciting and unique fights that will make him want to come out to the show. Also, the opportunity to represent my family lineage of martial arts and my country at the highest level and the chance to entertain fans with my style of fighting.
