UFC 110 Quote Round Up


Ryan Bader on Keith Jardine:
"Watching his past fights, if you catch him he'll go out. If you apply pressure you can end it quick. So that's my plan. He's never fought a wrestler like me. So when I take him down, I'm not gonna just be holding position, I'm gonna be dropping elbows and fists trying to finish him. He's got a button, and I'm looking to push that button,"
Minotauro on Cain Velaquez:
“I know he pushes the fight very much,” said Nogueira. “Watching his last fights, he pushes a lot. It was a good challenge for me to fight this kind of new talent. He’s very solid…I had to improve my wrestling, my boxing, a lot of things to fight this guy.”
Dana White on Cain/Nogueira winner getting a title shot:
"Brock is back in the heavyweight division now," White said. "He's healthy, and he's going to fight again. Mir and Carwin are going to fight for the interim title because that fight was already made before Brock said he was coming back.
Big Ben Rothwell on Cro-Cop:
"We would never disrespect the sport in taking anybody lightly. We’re planning to fight the 2001 Cro Cop. He accepted the fight, and when everybody’s telling you that you’re no good and can’t do it anymore, and you take a fight, there’s something to be said about that. That means he’s coming to fight. I know without a doubt that this man is gonna come hard. When he’s moving around fast and doing his thing, people are gonna be like ‘oh man, we haven’t see this Cro Cop,’ but I’m not gonna be surprised. It’s a tough fight, another big fight, and people get credit for beating Cro Cop because he’s not just a nobody. The guy’s dangerous, there’s no doubt about it, and he’s still got fight in him, so it’s gonna be a good fight and definitely a fight that I want to win."
Elvis Sinosic on his rematch with Haseman:
"I have no personal issues with Chris (Haseman) and he can say what he wants. Revenge has never been a factor. I have great respect for everyone that steps into the cage. What happened in the past helped build who I am today. Nothing I do now will change that. With age you can look at someone like Randy (Couture) and realize that it is training, not age that is relevant. As to records, when you look behind the numbers, sometimes it says more than the numbers alone. My record shows that I have faced world class competitors pretty much my entire career. [This is] a fantastic opportunity for me. I’ve been involved with the UFC since UFC 30, and I’ve always traveled and faced the hometown favorites. Finally, I get a chance to stand in front of my hometown. That alone is worth it."
Joe "Daddy" Stevenson on the ups and downs of MMA
"It's kind of good to remind yourself why you're fighting .... This sport has so many ups and downs. The trick is to not ever allow yourself to be deterred by anything positive or negative that's not in your hands ... not to just be comfortable but to perform. What I've learned at Greg Jackson's is it's important to stay relaxed but still execute. It didn't surprise me that [Diego Sanchez] went back up (to welterweight), maybe he couldn't handle the weight cut. I really don't like losing a close decision to somebody and then have them move up because I want to avenge every loss."
Bisping and Wanderlei go back and forth:
"Wanderlei's been very vocal about me, how he doesn't like me," Bisping said. "I've got nothing but respect for him as a fighter. Can't say the same about him personally after some of the comments I've heard."
"We're going to stop talking," Silva said. "Talking is the easy part of the show. He's talking a lot, I'm talking a lot but now we're going to see Saturday. We'll have a great show and I'm going to kick your ass."
