“We've got the same kind of style, ... We're both tall with long arms and both like to go inside, so if it comes down to it this could be a bloody fight and we'll both be slugging it out. If it's not a battle, we'll see what each other brings to the table.”
“Dos Santos is pretty tough ... He's lighter than I am and he's quick, but he's not afraid to slug it out with me. He's a heavy puncher so I wanted to see what I could handle from him.”
“It seems like every title shot I have to go overseas, ... It's part of the job, just like a black eye or a broken nose. You deal with it or you don't and then you get out.”
