\nTopuria video where the Georgian-Spaniard places a rose next to a
\nmural of Gaethje. “He calls himself the king. He thinks he’s a God.
\nWhat an annoying little bastard. I couldn’t imagine being in a room
\nwith him for 30 minutes listening to him talk about himself.<\/p>\n
\nwould leave him. No way I would put up with his s\u2014t.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nfive-round verdict over Paddy
\nPimblett<\/a> in the UFC 324<\/a>
\nheadliner on Jan. 24 to capture the interim lightweight crown. The
\nformer World Series of Fighting champion compared Topuria to
\nPimblett in the way that the UFC stars carry themselves.<\/p>\n
\nit\u2019s served him well. People see the way he talks and they believe
\nit. Because he believes it. Which is amazing really,\u201d Gaethje
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
\nPimblett<\/a>. He was so full of himself. It can be so detrimental
\nto approach life that way, thinking you\u2019re better than everybody
\nelse, because nobody is better than anyone. We\u2019re all children of
\nGod. You\u2019re a product of your circumstances at the end of the day.
\nI\u2019ve been so blessed with the parents I have, the family I have,
\nand the opportunities I\u2019ve been granted. And I thank God every
\nsingle day for those opportunities. And I promise daily that I will
\nnever change. No matter the success, no matter the failure. I\u2019ve
\npromised countless times to my Lord and Savior that I will never
\ndisappoint him. Or that I won\u2019t ever think I\u2019m better than anything
\nor anybody. That\u2019s how I got here. That\u2019s how I\u2019ve resonated with
\npeople. For me, that\u2019s the way I have to live.\u201d<\/p>\n
