When this guy called out Morell? Morell is ready for anyone. Don't talk **** please!

“We want the bigger names if possible,” Melikuziev said. “The reality is most of them won’t fight me. We were supposed to fight Derevyanchenko [and] Nelson. The fights never happened. We were supposed to fight for the mandatory position against [David] Morrell. No one wants to fight him? I did.”

He can't even say that he got knocked out , "that thing that happened to me" , that sounds like some real trauma. I wonder how it affects him in the ring now and if it's a positive or negative. I guess that only he knows and maybe time will tell.

Before that thing: came into the ring with guns blazing.

After that thing: has def been more cautious and even perhaps afraid to pull the trigger at times. Perhaps smarter fighter now, and has used power, but also has not pressed sometimes when he could.
