    We all know the fighters are a very emotional group of people. When Casey describes the last decade behind the camera being a comfortable barrier, I think we all can relate. It’s a disconnection watching all of these unfamiliar emotions through a screen when I think our brain should be getting those fight or flight feelings in real time. Big props to Casey for stepping up and competing, it says a lot about the man. I think there should and will be a lot of respect from the fans and fighters regardless of outcome.
