Anderson Silva – “Chael Sonnen has talked more trash than anybody I’ve ever faced.”
“He talks like a champion but in the Octagon we’ll find out quickly if he can fight like one.”
“As the fight get’s closer, this is going to become more of a whirlwind. And all this trash talking is going to cause a fiasco in his mind.”
“He’s saying that I’m a fake and liar, well you know what, when we’re inside the Octagon, he’s going to have to back up all these things he’s saying about me.”
Matt Hughes – “I’m not worried about [Ricardo Almeida] his submissions. He’s tricky on the ground, there’s no doubt about that. But I think my wrestling is really going to pay off.”
“I think I can put him in bad situations where he gets tired on his feet and hopefully I can put him in some bad situations to where he has to panic a little bit.”
Roy Nelson – “I just feel privileged they are throwing me with the lions and you know what, I don’t think nobody wants to fight him [Junior dos Santos].”
“I want to hold you down and put you in a crucifix and pinch your nose and go “Honk, Honk”. I can do whatever I want, that’s the difference [in the fight against Kimbo Slice].”
“It’s really not like, are you the better striker?, are you the better grappler?, Who really cares. At the end of the day, it’s are you the better fighter? And if you’re going to fight for the belt you better have every part of the arsenal. … Junior [dos Santos] is going to go, I’ll never fight Roy Nelson again.”
