“I think it’s good to have goals. For some reason I caught a lot of slack when I said I wanted to break Anderson Silva’s record and people were saying, ‘Oh, you’re ridiculous for thinking that. You can’t beat Anderson Silva’s record. You haven’t defended your belt one time. You’re silly. What are you talking like that for?” It’s like wow guys, you guys are really mad at me for having longterm goals? I want to be the best ever and one of my goals is to break Anderson’s record for title defenses. I’m sorry, I apologize if I offended you somehow, but I do have longterm goals, I like to set my goals high and then go out and get them done. If you want to be a Mundial champion, if you want to be a black belt and win the Pan-Ams, you want to win the worlds, win the Europeans, then you should bust your butt and train like it,” Henderson said. While a guest on MMA Weekly Radio, UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson went on the record to defend his comments pertaining to beating Anderson Silva’s win streak and title defense records so that he can be considered the greatest of all-time.

“I don’t have an opponent. But with the two-month delay, hopefully Frank Mir is healed up and ready to go. I haven’t been told I’m fighting for sure, but if they’re promising a stacked card, I’m hoping I’m one of the guys they look at and you put [me] on the card and it becomes a little bit better. This last Strikeforce fight was never a negative to me. It’s what I owe to that organization and Showtime for all they’ve done for me. It wasn’t a negative. But now it’s drifting along, drifting along. I’m ready for it to get done… January’s show is happening. Let’s not lose interest in Strikefore. It’s a great organization.” Check out the full video interview provided by AXS.TV below:

“We saw something tonight that you might not f**king ever see again as long as you live. What that guy does — like that spinning back kick where he steps to the side and then steps back — and he just kind of laid in there, took some shots, let him hit him, he was moving his head and then playing with him. And then, the minute he said, ‘I’m done,’ it was done. It’s just unbelievable — nobody does that. Nobody. Nobody in this sport is able to do that. That’s why when I get these guys sometimes who say, ‘I don’t know, Anderson Silva might not be the best …’ Are you out of your fucking mind? Nobody can do what this guy can fucking do. He’s the greatest of all time. And I think he’s the greatest in any combat sport. I’m a huge Mike Tyson fan, and in Tyson’s heyday when he was executing people, and you were just wondering how long it was going to be before he knocked someone out — he had that power and mean-ness that people were afraid of. Anderson Silva just does amazing things that nobody else can do…. I’m telling you right now: Watch every fight that he has, enjoy every moment that he’s here because when he’s gone you’re going to fucking regret it. You’re going to wish you watched more. It’s like [Michael] Jordan — even the games he played that didn’t mean a lot — he still did a lot of great shit. Anderson Silva is the guy who you want to watch when he’s fighting because you’re going to see some shit you’ve never seen before in your life.” UFC president Dana White has nothing but kind words for his middleweight champion and Brazilian superstar, Anderson Silva.

“I want to fight whoever wants to fight. I want to fight ‘Rampage’ if he comes in top shape. I don’t want to fight him if he’s not motivated to fight. I want to fight guys like [Fabio Maldonado], guys who want to fight and make careers in the UFC. Quinton’s got too much money already! He’s been talking all this time that I disrespected him — I never disrespected Quinton Jackson. That’s my idol. That guy was incredible. And now he tells me that I disrespected him? I didn’t disrespect him at all, but I’m not afraid of any man, either, you know? (Full video interview on next page)” The highly touted Glover Teixeira tells the UFC on FUEL TV crew that he wants to fight former UFC light-heavyweight champion, Rampage Jackson.
