UFC 116's George Sotiropoulos: 'I see things in Kurt Pellegrino's game I can exploit, he's beatable'Props: Pro MMA Radio Quoteworthy: “Kurt comes from the mold of wrestling. He always reverts back to it. And he has a black belt in jiu-jitsu to go with it. He’s knows how to get into advantageous positions and apply submissions quite effectively. He can also box. He’s an active fighter, he’s aggressive. He likes to come forward. And [...] Props: MixFight.ru (via Lowkick.com) Quoteworthy: “UFC is a money making machine. The most important thing for this organization is a brand and it’s marketing. They have a couple of good fighters and there are also some very good champions; but they are trying to keep everyone at the same level. The most important thing for them is the promotion, [...] Props: MMA Fighting Quoteworthy: “This is my life fight, a very good opportunity. I’m training every day for six months because my last fight was in November. I want this fight. I have a lot of respect for Fedor, he’s very good, very tough, but it’s my opportunity and my turn now. Fedor’s a very good puncher, very [...] Din Thomas faces a conundrum; how do you talk trash and put down an opponent – one who could give the entire sport of mixed martial arts a black eye – when you actually respect the guy? Somehow, the former Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter and 12-year MMA veteran has found a comfortable balance. That’s good news for the [...] Props: MMA Fighting Quoteworthy: “People wonder if I’m ready for Mousasi? Is Mousasi ready for me? What happens when I win? Is everyone going to say, ‘Oh, he just had a bad night.’ All the people can say is that he has experience over me. I don’t think I’ll get the respect when I win. I think people [...] Props:Graciemag.com Quoteworthy: “I have to respect him because he’s the man. So I’m really dedicating myself for this fight. I’m confident and I’ll surprise the MMA world. Not a lot of people believe in me. Since the guy is the best, a lot of folks say there’s no way I can win. But no problem. It’s good to [...] Props: Las Vegas Sun Quoteworthy: “I don’t exactly know what a lucky punch is. You’re out there fighting. You’re throwing punches, trying to hit somebody and you hit them. I don’t know how that’s lucky. It’s kind of expected [the hesitance of people accepting him as champion], when somebody is as big of an underdog as I was, fighting [...] “You know I don’t know what he [Frank Mir] thought… he’s still trying to pull his foot out of his mouth and when you say something like that and your wife has to go out and apologize for you, you know you pissed somebody off. I think his wife made the apology before he did probably… [...] Props:TheGarv.com Quoteworthy: “It won’t affect me at all. I really do not pay a lot of attention to smack talk. Whatever my opponent needs to do to get themselves ready to fight me is fine. At the end of the night the better fighter (that evening) should have his hand raised and really that is all I care [...] Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – Ask Ben Rothwell what went wrong in his UFC debut against Cain Velasquez last October, and he almost chuckles as he answers. “Besides everything?” he asks, not expecting an answer back because he already knows what it is.
