On Rear-Naked Choke victories

I don't know I somehow get there. Somewhere we end up, a lot of guys give their back and If I get someone's back I am going to be there the whole round or I am going to finish him. So. I don't know what it is but it is something that just happens.

On the potential move to the Light-Heavyweight division

Eventually, down the way, I will go up. That was only on three days' notice. That's the only reason I will go up. Eventually, I will go back right up but I will do it the right way. I'll put on the size, as I know I can and I will go up. But for now, I am still chasing this belt and that's my goal right now. I am still making 185 fairly easy. It's been hard before but for the last few times I've made it easy so I am just gonna keep chasing this belt until I can't (cut the weight) anymore.

I got to go with Dustin. I am super excited, I think as of now I am going to watch that fight, watch it live. I've known Dustin since I was 14 years old. So, I got to go with Dustin. I know it's going to be a banger. Those two guys are going to go after, they are both real fighters, they come to fight so that's gonna be a great fight. But no matter who wins and who wins, the fans are the ultimate winners of that one.
