Rollie’s ima let you know thru this tweet and I hope you understand this truly, I’m not taking you lightly at all, I’m coming with some real f*cking anger and I’m sorry it has to be you, you can say all the funny sh*t you are going to say Tuesday, but if you cross the line ima slap the f*ck outta you. I promise you.

He added:

You are here to be f*cking funny that’s it, funny is what got you here so don’t change course, grandpa had your ass fighting for your life and pitbull had you looking for Easter eggs in the ring. And I’m have you lay your gloves down in the ring like a mma fighters retiring!!!

Ryan Garcia fought Devin Haney in April 2024 and earned three knockdowns en route to his decision victory. However, Garcia tested positive for Ostarine and the fight was later turned into a no contest.

He was handed a one-year suspension, which ends on April 20.
