“I want to make my next fight for here in Toronto, maybe in April. I started my rehab for my knee right now and I started to lift weights, but I don’t train martial arts right now. I’m gonna wait two weeks to see what’s gonna happen with my knee. If it feels better I’m gonna fight on the first show in Toronto. [Leben] is a really good opponent. His style is like my style. He likes to fight. He’s no afraid to fight toe to toe, so he’s a good opponent. He’s going to fight right now in one of the next UFCs, but I want to fight against him.”

“With Sonnen, he is more wrestling. I trained with him one time at Xtreme Couture and I killed him there. I think he is a good opponent for me.

“I think its fun, no? Because sometimes I talk, we talk, its making the fight more interesting. I like to talk about my opponents, no problem. I am not afraid of anybody. I’ve fought with heavyweights, light-heavyweights. for me its no problem, I fight with all.”
