Othello Bouchareb: One semi recent fight I wanted to ask you about was Anderson Silva. I mean clearly the guy is an amazing fighter, one of the best in the world. If you were scheduled to fight him again, how would you prepare and what would you do that you didn’t do last time?

FG: Let me tell you what, me and you are never gonna be friends. Don’t ever…don’t…don’t friend me, alright?

OB: Alright.

FG: Later.

OB: Wow. He, uh, he just hung up…
