And you persist -- despite the fact that I beat you, in the middle of this ring, for this belt, and I beat your man, Terry Gordy, despite your best efforts to cheat -- you persist. How can you continue to insult my honour like this when you know how severe the consequences will be?' Salman says.

I got into your head and now you need this match more than I do, so we're going to do it on my terms. And we have to take it to a place where only one of us can walk away at the end of it. It can't be any other way. We're going to settle this in a Texas Death Match -- no holds barred.'
