AJ was photographed praying in a mosque a few years ago so it could be true.
I know for gospel that they changed his training routine loads for this fight and brought in sports scientists etc from Under Armour and Navy Seal soldiers.
He had nothing in the tank at all after the first KO.
Reminded me of Bruno when he used to get hurt, he just became a sitting duck with his arms stupidly low and zero head movement.
He was even heard saying to Rob McCracken " why am I feeling like this" between rounds then asking him "what's Ruiz gonna do next"
Odd things to say.
Personally I think AJ could be finished.
