"I’m not focused on that stuff. I’m focused on my training (at AKA with Kos, Swick and Fitch) . I’ve got a tremendous opportunity in front of me, and I’m doing everything that I can to properly prepare so that I can take full advantage of it." Amir Sadollah - "I think Baroni's going to try and punch me in the face." ..."Baroni’s obviously a veteran and he’s been around forever. I think it’s going to be a great fight for me. I think stylistically it’s guaranteed to be very exciting. I’m glad they gave me the fight; it’s an opportunity for me to prove myself." HT: UFC.com UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin 2 coverage
