Let me tell you, Shaq and I get along great. It’s safe to s邪y that we’ve crossed paths on multiple occasions.

Usman is cool. I appreciate his low-key approach. His professionalism is unwavering. In my opinion, he is not tr邪sh-talking. He never lets you down with a mediocre performance and is constantly in peak physical condition. It brings to mind a legendary NBA player who was well aware of and cognizant of that….Since I am not familiar with the other individual, I will side with Usman in this matter.For UFC 261, O’Neal had Usman as the victor. The key reason for his choice, he said, was Usman’s professionalism. In fact, he went so far as to s邪y that Usman was like an NBA great, maybe like Kobe Bryant.
