It\u2019s something that can happen, the UFC can do that after you lose a fight. So it\u2019s definitely something that you keep in account. Yeah, it\u2019s something that goes through your mind, because they can do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s also that when you\u2019re in the flow of winning, you\u2019re in the flow of winning.  Now there\u2019s definitely been some hardships here. I also have to say in the UFC, there\u2019s no easy fights in the UFC. Everybody\u2019s tough. This was something I said before the fight. Don\u2019t underestimate Ben. This guy\u2019s 280 pounds, he can take a punch and he hits like a truck. It is the UFC, everybody is there to win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[I\u2019d like to fight] as soon as possible, because I was not out.  I was not sleeping. I was just dazed, and Ben capitalized.
