\"CM<\/a><\/p>\n

“He\u2019s putting his work in, he shows up every day. He has a great attitude. He didn\u2019t become successful in the WWE by accident. It\u2019s because he was a worker and he was a value to the organization, not only in the front as a face, but in who he is. People get behind people that are easy to work with, and he\u2019s so easy to work with. It\u2019s awesome.
\n<\/em>
\n“That being said, he came in with Gracie jiu-jitsu. The natural thing he\u2019s good at, which makes me happy, is striking. He\u2019s a natural striker. When he did a scrimmage last week, he was pretty comfortable in the fire. He didn\u2019t freak out, he didn\u2019t panic. That\u2019s what I\u2019m looking for in new fighters. It\u2019s not necessarily skill. You can teach skill, but you can\u2019t teach will. Are they going to run and break during a fight, or are they going to get in there and survive the fire? And that\u2019s what I was impressed with. I think in time, all his skills are going to advance, but if he has the mindset and the will, he\u2019s going to do great.”
