The belt that I lost to Forrest Griffin, even though I should have got the decision after knocking his ass down in that fight? The belt Forrest lost to Rashad Evans? The one Rashad lost to Lyoto Machida? The one Machida lost when Maurico Shogun Rua beat him? The one Jon Jones took from the injured Shogun who couldn’t even train? That one? That belt? That belt is the unified PRIDE and UFC world title, and that belt exists because of me beating Chuck Liddell and Dan Henderson in two straight fights to win the UFC and then PRIDE titles

Nothing felt better than becoming the first unified champ in MMA history. I plan on getting my belt back at UFC 135.

That’s why I want my belt back so bad. It’s my belt.
