What they’re doing is, they’re saying — not as much Spike, as Viacom — has been saying, ‘We built the UFC.’ No you f–king did not. No you did not, you arrogant, pompous jackass.

I want to finish him the first round. I have the power to knock ‘Bigfoot’ out for a long, long time. I expect ‘Bigfoot’ to try and take this fight to the ground. I believe I have the advantage if the fight goes to the ground. I am better in the stand-up, I’m better on the ground and I have more knockout wins, more submission wins. I am better in every aspect and I’m going to show that February 2nd in Vegas.”
