"I don't think being the biggest bully in the yard is going to dictate who is going to win fights... It's about being smart and being savy."

"If anyone's legitimacy is on question it's Brocks... Brock didn't deserve that title shot. But at the same time, Brock sells tickets. He makes more money than I do. That's the name of the game."

Affliction: Trilogy Preview - Gegard Mousasi

"Bababu is a big challenge for me, he's an excellent fighter."

"I'm going to fight stand up; if I can take him down, I will definitely take him down."

"Even if I think he would take me down, I don't see him ground and pounding me, I don't see him getting mount, I don't see him submitting me. Eventually it will be a stand up fight again and sooner or later I will catch him."

"I feel strong, I feel explosive and I've fought twice now at this weight so I feel good."
