“I haven’t trained with Brock. I don’t know exactly what he does, but if I were him I’d spend 75 percent of my time on stand up. I believe that if he does it properly he can go back and dominate, but if he doesn’t do it properly he’ll go back and the same thing will happen, you know [as] towards the end of his tenure. It’s all about growing. It’s all about being able to look at yourself in the mirror and look at your deficiencies, and be man enough, and be egoless to go out and put yourself in negative situations in training so that you could learn.” On CM Punk: “I think anybody can be successful if they take the proper route prior to stepping in that cage. I wanted to talk to Royce [Gracie] a lot about CM [Punk] because I’m not going to pass judgment on anyone until I know 100 percent of their background, until I watch what they’re doing. I want to see what his stand up’s like. You know I think it was a great PR move for the UFC. It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Pride fighting over the UFC hands down, because of the entertainment factor. At the end, I think the biggest difference between Pride and the UFC is the pageantry of Pride, the over the top pageantry of it; the ability to watch kind of like the ‘Street Fighter’ mentality of a very unique individual versus someone who’s completely the polar opposite of them.”

People! Quit saying don’t leave it in the judges hands! That’s the stupidest comment ever. Your sound bites are delusional. No fighter thinks ‘Hey I’m going to leave it in the judges’ hand’. No fighter wants to get finished. The higher you go in competition the closer the match up is! Quit being a recorder and repeating everything you hear Joe or Dana say. Be an individual and fan. Know you have no clue the mental capacity It takes to compete on this level. The sacrifice, diet, training, sparring, luck, favor, being at the top during you peak, and being fortunate to not have substantial injuries during 3-4 training camps per year. Not to include family, finance, life struggles, and uncontrollable variables. We ufc fighters appreciate your passion, but you are passionate to a fault. Living through these Sat fight nights, taking stabs and shots at people you don’t know from a stranger on the street. Life is larger than the octagon. Sun after u are done talkin about the fight. Monday you go back to work. We go back to work in the gym. To fulfill these ridiculous expectations you blood thirsty fans want to see. Risking our health, time with family and the leisure activity you get to enjoy on the weekend. I challenge all non fighters To do a 8wk camp and take 1 amateur fight to appreciate what we do more deeply and become a more conditional fan. #SoapBoxOver #JustSaying
