“I came into this camp with a broken (insert malady here), but I overcame it with my heart and will and determination, and I doubt you all could do the same if you’d been through as many surgeries as me, my back, I do this for the fans, Punishment Athletics, out.”
“I still, to this day, think that somebody poisoned my room service or something like that. I was happy that it was my biggest paycheck to date, but I know they brought me there to lose. They made me lose all this weight when PRIDE didn’t even have weight classes. I knew there was no way I could win. But I knew I couldn’t turn back and not fight.”
“I kind of learned something from watching Randy Couture. I noticed that he don’t make excuses and I do. I do make excuses for all my losses. Because I got excuses for all my losses. But I just really choose not to talk about it this time. … When things happen in camp and stuff like that, and I was thinking that maybe I should pull out of the fight, but I didn’t. I just did it for the fans, and I tried my best, and I almost won. You know, I’m happy with that.”
