He's stepping up to challenge me. Anybody that challenges me, has got to get dogged out. That's my job.
After I knock out Randy Couture, I'll fight for the heavyweight title, the real heavyweight boxing title in October or November, come back and fight in the UFC in January or February. It doesn't matter, I'm a two sport athlete. The oldest man to ever do that.
Man I told Dana when I first came to the UFC, I don't wanna fight none of these bums...I want the best. I wanted this man right here [points to poster of Brock Lesnar], but he was sick. I didn't know that. So I said, 'what about Chuck, Chuck, whatever his name is, Chuck Liddell?' He was sitting there all scared and nervous.
I didn't run from the situation. I didn't hide the ordeal from the reporters like the sissy baseball players. I fought it head-on... We dealt with it. It's over. And now we're moving on.
Look at this body...Do I look like I use steroids?
If I'm the poster boy for steroids, steroids is going out of business.
I got tired of everyone being in my way, so I had to kick them out to have my privacy.
They can all get some. Remember this! I will do this to all y'all down here. Look at his face. I don't care if you're a flyweight, or your mamma weight! I will kick your ass!
The only freak show I got is between my legs.
I don't know nothing about the sport. Just tune in August 28th and y'all find out how much I know about the sport.
I represent boxing. I represent the old school. That's me.
My birthday was Monday, now I finally get to go home and enjoy it with some Burger King. Here I come baby! Burger King! Burger King!
