Dimitri smiles genuinely as the press asked about how his career started and how he managed to win against the most aggressive MMA fighter just now in the cage. He looked bruised and beaten, and a little bit like a poor puppy to you, but his ability to stay calm and not let the adrenaline blind his strategic thinking was what led him to victory every time.
"My girlfriend was my source of encouragement I guess. I wanted to beat her ex."
Dimitri chuckled, not at all annoyed by the press like most celebrities were. He was happy to answer anything as long as the questions weren't offensive. The man had no hint of cockiness in him whatsoever, and as intimidating as he looked with his full two sleeve of tattoos on his arms and a scar on his left eye, he's the most loyal and kind man you knew.
