I\u2019ve been doing this s**T for a long time,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve seen the ups and downs from a lot of different things. \u2026 I\u2019ve been around the block, man, and I know how to bounce back from anything.<\/p>\n<p>Eddie Bravo, the man behind the incredible submission arsenal of Tony Ferguson, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/joe-rogan-eddie-bravo-break-down-crazy-matchup-between-tony-ferguson-and-donald-cerrone\/\">made similar assurances<\/a> on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the same Tony,\u201d Bravo told Rogan. \u201cYou\u2019d think, is it the same Tony after he had some family stuff going on? Is that going to change him? His opponents hope it\u2019ll change him, but he\u2019s the same Tony. When it comes to fighting, we don\u2019t get into personal stuff. We just stick to fighting.
