I have always been ready to fight anybody out there, any time, anywhere. I will knock them all over. My talent speaks for itself.
Dominick is a good fighter, and he was the only one who stepped up and was willing to fight me, ... I'm not looking past him. I wish the fight was tomorrow because I'm ready to go.
I give myself a B minus. My right hand is a little sluggish. You have not seen the best of me. I want to fight again next month.
I promise you I will be better in my next fight, ... I want to be a fighting champion, a great champion.
I'm going to destroy him. I'm going to show everybody. I'm going to knock Hasim right out. I am the best fighter in the world, pound-for-pound.
The heavyweight division has been down, but I'm going to bring it up. The winner of this fight will be the real champion, the man. That's me.
I don't know Jiu-Jitsu, I don't know wrestling, all I know is how to fight. Period.
Get Julian Jackson in here baby!...Julian Jackson, winner take all baby, that's all I gotta say, winner take all! Arghhh!
I don't care who wins, I'll fight either one of them. As a matter of fact, I'll fight them both on the same night if they want.
I don't like you. Why you walk up on me dawg!?, I don't like you, I don't like you.
I have always been ready to fight anybody out there, anytime, anywhere. I will knock them all over. My talent speaks for itself.
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.
The only freak show I got is between my legs.
I was not thinking about the stuff still being in my system. But I can't look at the past. It was my fault. I wanted Ruiz. So I don't blame anybody but myself. Bottom line.
