"He pummeled on my face. He pulled on my teeth, so I guess that's biting when a guy tries and pull your front teeth out like his. I guess... I don't know... I don't see how that [is biting]."
"Yeah... I mean he embellishes stuff so obviously under the pile, you try pull out my front teeth, so if that's a bite then I don't know what to say."
"Yeah, his glove tried to yank them out. I don't know if you want to look like him but he pulled on them, that's for sure."
"Yes, it was his glove. I tasted his fingers pretty bad. I just tried to get out of there."
