"I was really excited watching Dong Hyun Kim, the Korean judoka fight. He's awesome. He fought Amir Sadollah recently and beat him. I'm watching it as a fan, that guy is really really good. I saw his weight class; I'm like, oh that's me."

"I really want to compete against a guy like that, he's international level. Not a disrespectful thing at all, like I’m going to kill him. I'm a fan and I love his style. So I'd like to test what I'd do against that for sure."
