“That’s why I laugh when people say ‘we’ve figured out your left hand.’ My boxing isn’t my strong point. It’s something I’ve only been doing for five years; I’ve only been striking for five years. I’ve done wrestling my whole entire life. So if anybody’s going to say anything, wrestling is my strong point. I feel my jiu-jitsu is better than my hands… I can only get better. Look at how much better I got in just three months of being able to focus on training. I’m still developing as a fighter; I’ve only had 14 fights in my career. I think once I hit 20 fights that’s where I’m going to be at my peak… Always improving, that’s the No. 1 goal of mine.” (Image courtesy The Las Vegas Sun)

I got a lot of fights left in me. I’ve still got the competitive edge and that’s what it’s all about. And I still love the sport enough to want to compete. See? You can love the sport, but if you don’t love the sport enough to compete you better get out of there. It’s been really good, it’s been a blessing in disguise. When I started the team up, when I joined, JZ, Villefort and Jorge Santiago…we didn’t know what it was going to create, but whatever happened..this synergy or whatever, everybody just came together. And now the team that has come about because of it is amazing. And I’m just happy to be a part of all of it.

“My dream was to become champion, the heavyweight champion, and now my dream to break recordsI want to break all the records that I can.” “Cain Velasquez, he presents a lot of challenges for me. His cardio is the best cardio of the heavyweight division, he got really good skills fighting in the stand up. I think the best is his wrestling skills and his ground-and-pound.”

He’s training … I’ll tell you what, that kid, I think he’s most improved fighter of the year. He looks good and he’s solid. I think he’s gonna win. A fight’s a fight, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. I think he’s got all the skills to win this fight. If I was to make a prediction there’s so many avenues because he’s so good on the ground and he’s so good standing. I’m thinking probably submission. I’ll give it third or fourth round after he batters him standing.”
