‘The Tormentor’ said:

“Maybe people think that way, but I’m just a guy who really likes to fight. If that makes people inspired, that’s great to know.”

Baatarkhuu added:

“After I became [the] champion, I see lots of youths and young generation kids, they want to be a mixed martial arts champion. They also want to train. As you know MMA is not easy; it’s a fight. What I mean is, I’m not encouraging all kids to train MMA as a career; before they make their choice, they have to really consider carefully, and they better try to train first. It also makes me feel inspired that knowing that young generations are so inspired by watching my fights.”
