"Honestly, I don't think much about it at all. I'm not Randy (Couture)," he said about the Fedor fight. "I'm not going to chase after this fight. For me, I need to be out there fighting my fights, creating my own merit. Fedor is the No. 1 guy out there based on his past performances; he's an incredible fighter and a cool guy. At this point people need to go their own ways.

"I've been waiting way too damn long to get a fight because of the turmoil that came of Pride folding, so at this point I'm not going to do anything that could possibly stall or hold up my career anymore in hopes in putting one specific (fight) together."
