“In my mind, when I’m at my best I can beat anyone in the world at 170 and I have to prove that. It’s not a matter of who, it’s a matter of when and where for me. Nate Marquardt is a very well-rounded fighter. I couldn’t tell you somewhere he stands out where he’s weak. He’s a veteran who’s been fighting for a long time. I’ve got to beat him to prove that I’m a contender for this title. Emotions are not going to win fights, action is. For me, I know I’ve got to be offensive regardless of who I fight. I’ve got to go in there and I’ve got to win. I don’t know if I’m the best welterweight in the world right now but I know I can beat anyone in the world and that’s all I need to know. I know I can beat Nate Marquardt.”

“He flexed and I said, ‘Man, you see how big his back is?’ To see a guy who’s six-four and that thick, and long muscles on top of that, athletically moving, I was impressed. It’s funny how things hit you. I was like, ‘I know why he got the tattoo! It was to take everybody’s mind off the fact that he has boobs.’ You know they kind of hang, when he jumps, they bounce up and down. So I thought, ‘Oh, it’s a diversion. Look at my dumb tattoo so you can keep your mind off my very feminine chest muscles.'”
