"(To prepare for Gray Maynard) I work on the things that I'm good at and try to stay away from things that he's good at. Obviously, not let him use his size and push me around. We've been in there so long with each other there's not really to many secrets. I think it's going to be who makes the better adjustments this next fight... I'm very anxious. We were supposed to fight at the end of May, so Gray has been on my mind since before January, preparing for that fight. Everyday you wake up, you're thinking about this guy. It'll be nice to be able to put this all aside. I feel like you get tired of them, it helps motivate you also. You get a little chip on your shoulder about the whole situation."

I'm tired of this soap opera also. Whoever wins this fight will lose the belt in 2012 anyways.
Hoping for Edgar. That would be great.
He got my sentiment, sorta. I'm sick of both of them. They need to get this crap over with so the guys in line can have a whack.
.....and everyone else is sick of thinking about both of you.
