“I guess Justin Buckley talked a really a tiny trash to me, but aside from that, that is about it seriously,” Storley instructed MMA Junkie Radio. “I guess I really don’t really care. I don’t get way too wrapped up in it. At the finish of the working day, I arrived listed here on a company vacation. It’s not individual to me. None of this is.
“I never disrespect or hate any individual that I’m likely to combat. At the finish of the day, we’re the two prize fighters fighting for money, and I’m going to do my career on Friday, and I’m heading to go back to the United Sates and be champ and get pleasure from my everyday living. I get it. You have to offer the combat a minor bit, but it does not do considerably for me personally.”
