Q: Speaking of Yamamoto, the last time I interviewed you, you expressed an interest in fighting him. Have you gone to Zuffa to ask them to help facilitate a match with Kid Yamamoto?

UF: Yeah, I have. And actually, I’m under contract to the WEC, but I was contacted by K-1 and offered the fight last September. Somebody said something and I put them in touch with my manager and we’re not even allowed to talk about it with them because I’m under contract. It wasn’t going to happen but he knows who I am and I think that’s a big fight for both of us.
