"It’s always good to get a win, especially against a name like (Keith Jardine). If I had lost two in a row at that point in my career, I might be stuck fighting in small shows if I wanted to keep fighting."MMA Weekly
"(Roger Gracie) is the last fight on my contract and I just need to get out there and perform."
"It’s going to be a really tough fight for me. He’s undefeated. He doesn’t know how to lose yet, so I’m curious to see how I’ll fare against him. I think it will be a competitive fight on both of our sides."
"I want to thank the fans that have stuck with me, even when I’ve had down times. I think it’s going to be a good fight and Roger is going to take the first loss of his career. With fights that people don’t think I have a chance in, I’ve always managed to pull it off somehow, and I don’t intend to stop now."
