[UPDATES] - via @Mike_Fagan_13
B.J. Penn vs. Jon Fitch:
- B.J. Penn donating part of his purse to the Aussie relief fund.
- Fitch doesn't think having AKA (Penn's former team) isn't that big of an advantage.
- Fitch: Now that I've built up my skill set, I feel more comfortable opening up as a person. Long-term planning.
- Penn: Right now I'm around 165. I'll probably drink 4 pounds of water to make Fitch think I'm bigger than I am. I could see myself fighting at lightweight again. I walk around at 165; it's not a big cut.
- Fitch: No pressure to be exciting. Number one rule - everyone loves a winner. If you lose, you're out. Progress is slow, but I'm gaining fans with every fight.
- Fitch: I'm not thinking about a title shot, just about fighting B.J. I've been avoiding the Internet and magazines. Been living in a cave.
- Fitch: 'If I kill him, I get his power. If I beat Penn, I'm going to take all of his wins in my back pocket.' Penn says that won't happen.
Michael Bisping vs. Jorge Rivera:HT: UFC.com
- Bisping: I'm a professional fighter. I'm not wasting time making up rhymes. Tells Jorge that this is a press conference, knows it's his 1st. Bisping says he's going to send Rivera back down to the prelims. I'm going to do jiu-jitsu, wrestling, boxing...Rivera doesn't know half of it.
- Rivera says he looks forward to it, Bisping says he is too.
- Bisping asks if Rivera has his script in front of him.
- Bisping: Look at Rivera's last video. That's something my 9-year old would do. I hope for them that it wasn't scripted.
- Bisping talking to Rivera at the standoff. Pointing at him. They break and he's still jawing.
