“There’s almost 100 years between us,. ‘m sure one of the old-age factions out there is going to get behind this fight. Maybe the Depends group. My buddies here say we should move it to Caesar’s and call it the ‘Geezers at Caesar’s.’
“I’ve heard it all for this one, so it’s no different, really. We’re having a good time.”
“I think it’s always interesting for me to face another wrestler, Kevin Randleman, Mike Van Arsdale – those were interesting fights. They had a different pace. Different skillsets came into play.
“Wrestlers have a little bit different mindset and do things a little bit differently in a lot of situations. It becomes interesting to me, personally, to face another wrestler and see how we solve some of those problems.”
“Mark’s a game fighter, He showed against Bonnar that he still can compete at this level. I’m anxious to get in there and compete against another wrestler and put him to task.”

“There are no secrets in this sport, Guys that try to keep all that tight to their vest, I think it’s silly. It’s a different mentality, and in the wrestling world, we don’t have that. I’ve trained in other gyms with other teams. I’ve wrestled some of my best friends for a spot on the team, and someone is going home disappointed. It’s a whole different mentality.”
“Wrestlers grind it in, week in and week out. We wrestle two and three times in big matches every week. You learn to compete, and you learn to do it against guys you like and are friends of yours. This is no different. Mark’s a good guy, and I’ve known him for a long time, but this is what we do. We fight.”
