“Yes of course. You know I mean, for me this is the stuff that childhood dreams\u00a0is made of.\u00a0You know fighting in the Nations capitol at the O2 Arena sold out against Anderson Silva. It does not get any better than that. And the fight was a war! It was a back and forth battle. I think the crowd enjoyed it. I enjoyed it, and I won. So of course it lived up to my expectations.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
