To calm down the heat, DC said “I literally asked why he should get title shot over you? Because he has to convince he deserves to jump you.” He also continued by saying “Hell I thought you should have been in the fight with Charles. Have said it publicly. Calm down highlight , you’re my favorite fighter.”
