Lyoto Machida is a Rubik’s Cube, Chae Sonnenl situation sucks, Brock Lesnar’s got two little ones … at some point everyone’s got to call it a day.

“There’s really only one or two fights that I wanted; that I would consider stepping back in there. Lyoto was definitely one of those. Style-wise the two guys I’ve been watching and see myself matching up against was Lyoto or Shogun. I didn’t really see them giving me a title shot right out of the gate.”

“Lyoto actually pushed to see this fight happen. So I’m honored he wants to fight me as much as I want to fight him. It’s great.”

“You have to be able to cut him off and I obviously like to use the fence and the barrier. I think you saw what Shogun did both times he fought him … I’m not really a kicker, I can do it a little, its not my gameplan.”

“Rampage is a controversial decision. A lot of people thought Lyoto won that, and I happen to be one of them.”

“I think my style in general is going to be interesting. He’s that Rubic’s Cube – you have to get all the colors to match.”

“I am interested in fighting Shogun if he retains the title.”
