“He’s predominantly a stand-up guy. He’s got a good ground game and he’s got decent wrestling. A very upgraded version of Michael Bisping maybe. I guess. I don’t know. I see this fight going very similar to Bisping. A little tougher, a little harder to find that opening, that kill shot, but I think I could hurt him on the feet and I think I could finish him on the ground.”

“The best path against Hettes is to pressure him and that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m trained and I’ll be a different Diego. I’ll prove it by fighting. I’m focused, I know what I want to do with my life, I want to fight for the UFC. I didn’t know what I wanted, but I really want to be in the UFC. You will see different things this fight. I miss fighting, that’s the truth. I worked too hard to get where I am, I was the first Brazilian to win TUF and I can’t wait to see Aldo fight Conor. Aldo will take it and I hope Conor will give me a rematch after Aldo kicks his ass”.

“Mayweather is a different ‘A side’ now and you can guess what the ‘A’ stands for. He was late for his media workout leaving major media outlets scheduled to go live with dead air. How selfish is that? It doesn’t take a lot to figure out why everyone is rooting for Manny. Just look at which fighter has the most endorsements going into this fight and why. When Manny beats Mayweather, it won’t only be about unifying the welterweight titles, it will also be a public service to boxing. I am so glad that Mayweather is big on Shots [a social media Mayweather uses] because he is going to be taking a lot of them from Manny on May 2. That is why he has been avoiding Manny for so long. He didn’t want this fight. He can pretend it was a strategy to build up the fight’s value but that’s not true. For once, Mayweather wasn’t able to handpick his opponent. He was forced to take this fight — by Manny, the media, and the fans.”

“But hey, Conor McGregor, he’s doing his thing. He’s doing a good job of that and I’m not hating on him. I think he’s doing a great job marketing himself. Everybody’s forgotten who the champ is already because it’s the McGregor show. Conor McGregor keeps talking about coming up and fighting dos Anjos. I don’t know what that’s gonna do for him. That guy’s got like 10 followers or some s**t. So if these guys want some real fights, then they can call and work it out, or if I can figure it out, I’m game to fight if the money is going to be worth it.”
