“He’s a real arrogant bastard, to be honest with you. We were doing a media tour (for the UFC Singapore) and he was really angry all the time. He just wanted to be mad and had nothing but rude comments to say. I was like, 'Damn, man, I'm a veteran of this sport, are you saying you're just going to slaughter me? I’m old, you’re young’”, criticized Cowby.
