“I respect Vinny a lot. I respect all the guys in my weight class, all the guys in the UFC. All of them are skilled fighters — we’re the best in the world. I take him very seriously, but, he’s going to regret asking to fight me. Some lessons have to be learned the hard way. You wanted this fight, you got it. Another thing is, I’m a giving person, if there is something you need, just ask me for it. You want to fight me? Boom, you got it. Make a wish? Boom, Merry Christmas, you got me.”
