Not to crap on you cuz I see some replies already… But as a fighter your post fight interview is your chance to call out an opponent of your choosing and raise “hype”. Saying I’ll fight “whoever” is giving up an opportunity for an easier fight and losing your chance for a bigger check by not selling the fight. Bisping just wants to get this guy paid even though he called him a “puto” last time he had a post fight interview😂

Love this guy humble af and is so talented

Heard Yair speak for the first time and I like the guy. Such a great guy!
