    • @JCruz-ik2yw
      @JCruz-ik2yw 9 місяців тому +1

      It’s probably the Complete opposite. He receives love, unconditional love from his children and deff feels good to be loved and looked at as a super hero and not for his fighting skills but for the love and safety he provides as a father .. not everything isnt about fighting , once the lights turn off and the crowd dissipates and they become old and grey they s re still fathers FIRST. And any one of them men would give up fighting to be a better parent even if it ment they wouldn’t be as well off financially. Rob has said it him self when he had to give his daughter bone marrow for a bone marrow transplant. In the press conference for the fight when he was returning, he said he doesn’t apologize that he was gone because he’s a father first. So his kids out looking up from their video games while he was training it’s just humbling and all the more reason to love them. I highly doubt they made him feel less of a man.

    I think Ilia looks to be really good fighter.

      Then pulled out to khamzat (albeit this time a legit excuse).
      But to think he gets the next title shot is laughable and a casual take.
