How he got the fight with Bisping
"They [UFC] had called me and said that they were considering it [the fight with Bisping] and within a couple of weeks, maybe at the end of June or something like that, they had told me that, and I said absolutely I would do it,
I was obviously surprised, but happy to hear about that, Yeah, I didn't even think they would consider it, even though there was so many fans out there asking for it, so I'm just happy that it got put together."
Fighting in the UK
"No, it really doesn't bother me at all, The fight happens in an octagon, the same one I'm used to train in. Everything else is just distractions that don't really matter."
Will he ever throw another H-Bomb on Bisping again.
"It's more than likely, I did it before I fought him, against Wanderlei, and maybe one or two other guys, just to make sure they're done. It's the quickest way I know how to get from point A to point B, to jump on them. I'll absolutely finish up with a punch or two if I knock him down, to make sure the fight is over. There is no ill will there, you know. I don't wish him any permanent harm or anything, I just want to make sure that I win the fight."
Would he come out of retirement.
"I'm sure with a few extra zeros back there I would consider coming back, But, at the same time, I was ready to be done [in] my last fight. With the opportunity to finish with a belt and be the world champ at the end of my career, I couldn't say no to that. When they offered me that, I told them that this will be my last one for sure, win or lose."
