“Damn straight. He has a big bullseye on the back of his head, or on the front of it, it don’t matter. He’s the only man that can stand there and say that, you know, he beat me. I don’t know if he can even say that because really I beat myself. I want that fight back. Today’s really the first time I’ve been vocal about it and this is the first time I’ve really been in the media about it, but, I definitely want that fight back. Whoever I have to go through if it’s to fight him again or to somebody that beats him, hey I’m game… [If we fight 10 times] I whoop his ass.” (via middleeasy.com)

“Obviously, there’s three great venues that you’d do. We could go to Toronto, huge stadium there, Dallas, Texas stadium or a soccer stadium in Brazil. This fight has to happen people. It’s fun to talk about this super fight but I’m sure it’s pissing Carlos off every time it’s asked. We’ve been talking to the Cowboys guys for a while. Whenever we want to do an event there, they’re ready for it.”‘ (via yesterday’s pre-fight phone conference)

“It’s been eating at me for a while. [The loss] definitely did happen, and it hurt. It sucked. I’ve been waiting for a while to get revenge back.” “It’s just so easy to get hurt in this sport. Whether it be cuts, your joints, bones, everything can mess up at any given time. The way that we train is just so much like a real fight.

“I’m hungrier. I’m the one that’s been chomping at the bit to get this thing on. I haven’t fought competitively since February. I’ve just been training an sparring and preparing for this opportunity. People are going to talk either way. It’s making me a little antsy to get in there.” (via The Las Vegas Sun)
