These guys hit it off. Even before this fight was signed, there was mutual respect, but after watching these guys do a few interviews together, I see a legitimate friendship berween them. They may not host a podcast or take vacations together, but, in the mma realm,these guys are friends.

Facts bro

Real fighters, specially true martial-artists, don't need to create fake dramas or hate on each other to perform well. These two are part of my favorites in MMA not only for their skills but also for their ability to communicate in a way that appeals to anyone. Very authentic, well-spoken gentlemen who are warriors inside the cage. This is a main event that I'll be cheering for both fighters. Expect nothing but the best showcase of martial-arts (likely stand-up from start to finish). And regardless of the result, the fans will surely enjoy. Can't wait!
