Even before the pre-fight, Ford said he had asked his opponent if he really wanted to fight. He told Iran,

If you’re sure you want to fight, I want to fight someone who wants to fight because I didn’t train and sacrifice six months of my life to get into it and just not want you there. You have to make sure you want to fight. Neither of us are professional, but I took this deadly seriously.”
