"My plan is to go to Australia 2 weeks before the fight. I'll be training at the Wolf's Lair from now and keep improving."

"I'm sure Wanderlei can make the cut to 185. But it's never easy making weight, it sucks. It won't be an advantage."

"Zach Light is a long time trainer of Rampage and Mario Neto both know Wanderlei very well. Hopefully we'll get Rampage in the training camp as well. But that's not confirmed. No one is going to know Wanderlei better than Rampage."

"About Wanderlei - I'll adjust as necessary. If the fight isn't going my way, then I'll go for a takedown. I always go out looking to throw strikes. That's what I want to do. I was still a little hesitant in the Denis Kang fight. If that's not working out, then I'll look to take Wanderlei down and control him and look to ground and pound him there. I think I can ground and pound anyone in the division. If I get him down and get on top of him, there's not a thing most people can do about it, to be honest."

I was couldn't talk for days after UFC 105. I was stoked at how decidedly you won. It shut the Henderson people up! Just shows that even the best (you) can have a bad day. I look forward to seeing you fight again as soon as possible. Wanderlei is just a speed bump to you. But I know you will reign supreme of him.
I have followed your career since the Ultimate Fighting Championship. I've watched you grow and evolve into a fighter that I've always known you were destined to be.
I know you don't know me, but I know that I am one of your most devout fans. I can't wait until February to see you in action again.
It would be the coolest in the world if the fights would come to my neck of the woods. Maybe Tulsa, Oklahoma. Or Joplin, Missouri.
