Alfonzo shared in English that his sister, who passed in the Venezuela earthquakes before his Dodgers debut tonight, shared with him 3 weeks ago that she had a beautiful dream.

“I’m pretty sure the dream was something about this, I wish she was alive to watch me play in the big leagues.”

McGregor believes his journey in combat sports is nowhere near over. He says he's still chasing more belts, more knockouts, and bigger paydays as he continues building his legacy.

“I believe Michael Jordan was essentially the reason that athletes get taxed the same way that entertainers get taxed. At the height of MJ, this guy's earning $30 million on his NBA salary, and he's going and playing in the finals in these different states”

“I want to say it was California. They were like, ‘Ah, this is messed up. This guy should be paying us taxes while he's here. He's working. He's making a lot of money.’ So all these states instituted this tax”

“When people sign NBA contracts and it's like, ‘Oh, this guy's worth this amount of money,’ it's like, no. Cut it in half before the guy spends a dollar. In some states like California you probably cut it a little bit more than half because then you're paying agent fees as well”

“I remember you could negotiate like a 20% signing bonus on your rookie deal. I was expecting $200,000 to be deposited into my account on August 15th. I was like, ‘This is the most money I'll ever have.’ Then I saw the wire hit, and I was like, ‘Oh’”

“I have a gift for you because I am a former UFC champion.”

“I know you! I was just talking about you today, they were asking me today about who’s your favourite UFC fighter.”
