While speaking on UFC Unfiltered, Grayson Waller discussed how having 'killers' on the roster helps bring the best out of talent.

"We have some killers in WWE right now, there's a guy called Julius Creed. Super high level amateur wrestler. If he goes over to the UFC at some stage, he's going to do really good. He's a former training partner of Daniel Cormier. When you're in the ring with this kid Julius like if he wants to hurt you, he can and having a bit of that fear a bit of that like. Oh. I think that helps what we do when you think the guy across from me is actually gona hurt you. I think that brings out the best. I always like that feeling."
