It’s one of those things. He’s not willing to fight for those positions. He is very satisfied with the ability to go up there and compete and the focus and emphasis on the training. I don’t begrudge him for that. But it’s a reality and it’s not what’s going to be useful or helpful for what Jake Paul is currently trying to do. Jake’s doing his part, he’s showing an interest… He’s opening the door but Anderson’s got to kick it in.”
