"When I was very young, I told my brothers and my mom that I was Bruce Lee. I'm a black Bruce Lee."
"Lee, Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen, these guys are all my heroes, my Chinese heroes. I think Bruce Lee personifies the greatness of all martial arts, as a fighter and as a professional. When I am training and want to cheer myself up, I think about Bruce Lee. In my life, I'm happy to be the black Bruce Lee."
โI am the biggest fan of Bruce Lee. I especially like his philosophy of Jeet Kune Do. But Iโm also a fan of Muhammad Ali and Roy Jones Jr. those are guys for whom I tip my hat. Outside the ring, I would say Michael Jordan, Pele and Ronaldo. People think I say this because of my contract with 9ine, but it is not.โ
โI think I fight my entire life in Wing Chun, Bruce Lee stuff, [it] saved my life inside the ring, inside the cage. I donโt like to talk too much you know, I like to go inside the ring, go inside the cage and do my job. Iโm not here [to] disrespect nobody.โ
