“My plan is to go in there to fight, I’m not gonna be dancing around. Anderson (Silva) is an expert [standing up] with kicks and knees and elbows and I respect that — but I’m not afraid of it. I think every day that I’m gonna win the fight, that I’m gonna push the pace. I have to look for the opening, look for the gap and if it goes to the ground I have to look for the submission. If we’re [on the feet] I have to look in his eyes and know I’m gonna beat him. He’s the champion and I’m the challenger, it’s gonna be a lion facing a lion. It’s gonna be a great, great fight. I’m about to accomplish my journey. In the name of Jesus I’m gonna leave [UFC 126] with a victory.”
