Print"I think that there are fighters and there are round winners; people that go out there to win rounds. We only got 15 minutes so I guess we (the Cesar Gracie team) got to figure out a way to win these rounds too, just like how (the round winners) are doing."
"No opinion. That's not a surprise. Not that (Chael Sonnen) was on steroids; but all these guys are on steroids. So you can't be surprised when somebody pops up on steroids, you know. You should be surprised when people aren't on steroids."
"(Sponsors) are a big help. A lot of fighters are underpaid. (Sponsors) help us put food on the table and clothes on our backs, so sponsors are great."

Couldn't agree with him more about
fighters getting popped for roids.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.

Good Lord, that second interview was difficult to watch.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt
Couldn't they get the interviewer on-camera?
Instead of his arm shooting in and out of the frame?
I hope everyone picked up...
…on that obvious and in my eyes legitimate critique of the way fights are scored. A professional fighter says it, I agree… there is waaaaaay too much possibility to win a fight by winning rounds (wich encourages lay n pray AND jab n jive). I’d like to see a fight to be scored as a whole, rather than this sucky ass 10 point must stuff that makes barely any sense to use.
Easy way for the Cesar Gracie team to become "Round Winners":
Let Jake Shields take over for Cesar.
