“If your tired of me talking money, take a nap.“ I’ll still be here when you wake up with the highest PPV and the gate. Still talking multi 7’s.“Thank you to the true support and fuck the hate that came out of the woodwork. I love it all. Its still steak for breakfast. “I’ve been here many times in my life in some form or another. I’ll eat it all and come back stronger.
“Aldo you are a pussy. Dos anjos you are a pussy. “When the history books are written, I showed up. You showed up on Twitter. “To the fans! Never ever shy away from challenges. Never run from adversity. Face yourself head on.
“Nate I will see you again.”
