“I love the spotlight. I love the power of television. It is the greatest tool in the world to get your news out there. The more you get on TV, the more you have TV following you, the more money that equates to, the more fame you have, and fame equals money.”

“I didn’t have to work on it (being a villain). I’ve always been an ornery little [expletive]. I have a knack for getting under people’s skin. I want to be an entertainer. I want to be the guy who makes money outside of the cage. If I’ve got to be the villain to do it, then I’ll do that.

“Life would be boring if you didn’t have controversy. This sport would be boring if you had guys who were just like a Georges, who looks like a robot, talks like a robot, and fights like a robot. You need guys out there with personality. There’s not many guys who are out there who are willing to do that. I’m willing to do that.”

“I want to keep this (GSP) fight in position to win. I have to make sure my wrestling is up to par, because George is one of the best at disguising wrestling in MMA. He’s fast. I have to be able to control the fight and put the fight in my position. I believe that my best chance is to keep the fight on my feet and knock Georges out.”

“He’s already beat me once. I have no pressure to go into Montreal and win this belt. He’s the guy who’s the champ. I’m the underdog. I like being the underdog. I like that I get to bet money on myself, which, I already have. I like that I get to hear a lot of ‘F YOU KOSCHECK!’ and a lot of boos.”

“I plan on pissing off 22,000 people on December 11.”
