I know he sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew he was half decent though because I went to dinner with Paulo Costa \u2014 and we were supposed to fight the first time\u2026 and then he got hurt by Roman Reigns,\u201d Danis said. \u201cIt was going to be me and him, and KSI and Tyron Woodley in Atlanta. [Costa told me at dinner], and he was like, \u2018I just want to let you know I sparred him for real and I had a tough time with him. Like, I couldn\u2019t do anything to him.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Are you being serious?\u2019 And he was like, \u2018Dead serious.\u2019 He might be mad at me for saying this. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then I was hearing some stories about it, but I know he was decent, but I could\u2019ve beat him. I know I could\u2019ve beat him, and that\u2019s the thing that drives me crazy to this day. It definitely f*cking haunts me, and we were supposed to have that MMA fight.
