Speaking in the lead-up to his UFC 282 bout, the youngster set his sights on becoming the youngest UFC champion in history - the record is currently held by Jon Jones, who dethroned Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua of the UFC light-heavyweight title, aged 23.
"Not in five years - I'm going to be champion when I'm 20 or 21 at the latest," he said.
