“I’m not really interested to see the fight, and I’m a fan of both guys. I don’t think the fans are going to be real interested … I didn’t feel responsible. I felt horrible that I had to back out. It’s not something I wanted. I had no idea what I could have done to change that, other than not get hurt. I didn’t ask, ‘Hey, what’s going to happen if I pull out?’ T
hat wasn’t what it was about. It was about whether I could fight or not. I didn’t need to know. In my mind, I didn’t have the right to know. I didn’t want to know if my fight was guaranteed if I pulled out, making it easier for me to pull out. I didn’t really want to know what was going to happen. I wanted to make sure I made the decision based on the fact if I could fight or not. Even now it’s unknown what will happen with my next fight.”
