"I'm stoked that it's for the troops. I like the idea behind those fight cards. You can't look like a wuss in front of a bunch of tough kids with guns."

"I'm going in there to punch (Yves Edwards) in the face and kick him in the face. If I know I can get the guillotine, I'll take it, but I'm not really looking to just go in there and first-round Yves like that.

"If I could get the triangle, I'd love that. I don't know how to do an ankle lock, but if I can catch him in an ankle lock, I'll do one of those."

"I'm going to go out and put on a hell of a show with Yves."
