\u201cIt was a high-paced kind of fight, the first round especially. But I predicted that, so it was easy to recover from. \u2026 It pretty much went how I planned it, but it wasn\u2019t as clean as I would\u2019ve liked it to have been.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI hope people don\u2019t take that out of context. He did it to me at the weigh-ins, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Alll right. You do your talking at the weigh-ins. I\u2019ll do my talking in the fight.\u2019 After Round 2, I thought I was going to finish him in Round 3, and that\u2019s when I did the gun thing \u2013\u00a0you\u2019re dead.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been hard (to get fights). That\u2019s why I took this Mateus fight. On paper, he was a step down. \u2026 Not that this guy wasn\u2019t good, but on paper, this was his (UFC) debut. \u2026 Now we\u2019ll start getting serious. If I\u2019m not ranked after this fight, let me get a ranked guy so I can show.\u201d<\/p>\n
