“… For the fans, sure. He (Eddie Alvarez) is hyped up. Get everyone tuned in, excited, but for me, a fight’s a fight. I don’t give a shit.”

“Everyone was saying us WEC guys were going to get smashed. I never really gave him much thought. He’s coming over from Bellator, shit, wish him luck. Too bad he’s got to go in with me. It’s a tough fight, first fight. ‘Welcome to the UFC. Here’s Cowboy.’”

“It’s going to be a scrap. Dude throws down. That’s all I know about him. I haven’t really seen him fight, ever. That’s what people tell me. Shit, I’m ready. Never seen Eddie fight, ever. Never, never, never. I’ve seen a picture of him, that’s it. I don’t watch fights. People don’t understand. They’re like, ‘You don’t know anything about your opponent?’ No, I know nothing about him. I’ll watch Michelle, little Jon fight, my teammates fight, but other than that, no. I got wakeboarding and shit to do.”
