He\u2019s very well-rounded, he\u2019s very durable, and it will take a lot to try and put him away. But Khamzat, it\u2019s going to be a tough challenge because he only went the distance in his last fight, I believe, and I think he grew incredibly from that fight, he learned a lot. So I think we\u2019re going to see a better version of Khamzat, still better than what he was.
