The 'Veteran Voice of the Octagon' told renowned MMA journalist Ariel Helwani that he will return to work next weekend for UFC 268 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

"I just finished my 14-day quarantine and feeling like myself again and will be ready to roar off Madison Square Garden next week. Much appreciated.
