Velasquez on pulling out of UFC 180
BJPENN.COM News - November 13, 2014
“My knee was pretty jacked up the whole training camp. I felt it was very unstable. My meniscus was torn. It was pretty bad. I needed to get it fixed.”
McGregor Confident Against Any Man, Even Cain Velasquez
BJPENN.COM News - November 13, 2014
“He’s a veteran. I think he’s a short, compact fighter. I believe his reaction time has remained the same over his career. I’ll look to capitalize on it. I will prepare, I will show up and I’ll get the job done [against Dennis Siver].” McGregor on if he’d fight Jose Aldo in Brazil for the title: “I have no problem whatsoever fighting him in Brazil. When I did the Q and A in Brazil, they were screaming at me. I love that. Passion is a beautiful thing and the Brazilian people are passionate people. I’m prepared where ever and whenever, just give me the date and the weight and I’ll show up.” McGregor on his worst matchup, responding to Cormier’s Velasquez challenge: (via Final Round on UFC Tonight) I don’t think there’s a man on the roster…I don’t know, I would find a solution, mark my words.Believe me. His knee is bothering him, I would find a way to take advantage of that, and I would capitalize. But, I’m confident against any man.
Mark Hunt: 'This isn't BJJ. Black belt or red belt, you're going to sleep!'
BJPENN.COM News - November 13, 2014
“I was taking the kids to school when I got the call from Dana White. He said there was an opportunity. I said yes before I thought about it – not thinking about tackling the weight, the different time zones, Mexico City being at altitude. I wouldn’t have been happy with myself if I didn’t take the fight.”

Will Brooks: 'Chandler a product of a pumped up ego'
BJPENN.COM News - November 13, 2014
“I chalk it up to, his ego doesn’t allow him to step outside of himself and really examine the big picture. I think sometimes his ego and the people around him pump his ego so much that he’s not allowed to see his different things. But it’s not my problem. I control what I can control and he can control what he needs to do.” “As far as being 100 percent healthy or, training for Alvarez, or this and that, personally I would never approach it like that. I was training for a three-round fight, against, nothing against Nate Jolly, but he’s a lower-level guy. I was training to go out there and practice some skills I had been working on. I went out there and I made that adjustment. It may not have been the prettiest thing in the world, but I did it, and I think if I would have ended up not walking away with the belt, I would have been the same guy. I would have approached it and said ‘today was not my night,’ and moved on.” During Wednesday’s open workouts, Bellator lightweight champ Will Brooks discussed this weekend’s bout against Michael Chandler.

Chael Sonnen Considering 2016 Olympics
BJPENN.COM News - November 12, 2014
“I’ve considered trying out for the 2016 Olympic team in Greco-Roman wrestling. My goals would be different. I would not make the team, but I think I could be one of the guys. I could be right in there, top four or five. Give me a good opportunity to train and be active and still be a part of something while my body is still holding up. But no, I’m done with competitive mixed martial arts.”
