• We get a video from Ilja Dragunov. He says he has never feared pain, pain makes you feel alive but agony is a different kind of feeling.
When he hurt his ankle it was much more than the searing pain of a snapped ligament, the agony he felt when he had to vacate his title.
He watched in frustration from home as worlds collided, titles were unified, knowing it should’ve been him in the ring with Bron Breakker.
He can’t change the past but he can change the future. He says Bron is a great champion but he’s stepping in the ring with a machine.
