“I was getting ready to train when I got a message telling me that Eddie was five minutes away. I had no idea this was happening, it was a setup. Things got pretty heated and it ended with Eddie being dragged out of the building, seriously injuring someone involved, while trying to spit on me,” Bjrnsson explained.
“I really want to get in the ring with Eddie so we can settle this once and for all.without turning into a disgusting street fight, which is clearly what Eddie wanted after his clear lack of discipline in the exhibition this Tuesday,” said ‘The Mountain’.
