“I knew I put on such a poor performance (at UFC 121), I wouldn’t have been surprised at all if (Dana White) said either Jon Fitch or Carlos Condit or something for the title shot. I wouldn’t have blamed him at all cause I was so mad at myself for putting on such a bad performance.”
“I think it’s awesome that they’re still giving me the shot. I honestly do still feel I deserve a title shot, on a 15-fight winning streak, over some pretty decent opponents.”
“I definitely plan on going up to Montreal and be watching to see who I’m fighting. Maybe I’ll pull a Josh Koscheck and bash their hockey team or something like that.”
“There’s a possibility of me fighting Georges St. Pierre in Toronto in that big 50,000 seat arena or whatever it is. You might as well make them hate you like Koscheck’s done.”
