“I think if you’re fighting in the UFC, you’ve got to come to fight and I would much rather get knocked out than lose a decision running backwards.”

“And no disrespect to Kalib, I know that the stress really gets to you and a lot of guys focus on not wanting to lose instead of wanting to win.”

“I knew that he keeps his legs planted so I was able to land quite a few solid ones [leg kicks], that was definitely apart of the plan.”
Michael Bisping

“He [Charles McCarthy] was covering up well, but that’s all he could do.”

“His tactic was to cover up and let me commit to my combinations.”

“As soon as I hit him with one [a knee], I knew he was hurt and I knew it was only a matter of time then.”

“When the bell went at the end of the round, I was little annoyed because I thought ‘I got it man, this is my time, there’s no way he’s turning this fight around’, and then the bell went of course but then Charles couldn’t get up.”
Rich Franklin

“We looked at a lot of tape of Lutter prior to the fight and I was banking on the fact that my conditioning would pay dividends. I felt great at the end of the 1stRound going back to my corner.”

“He had given me the best that he could offer and had come up short. I knew at that point that he had expended some energy and I didn’t expend any energy trying to get off the bottom.”

“This was my first fight after the loss [to Anderson Silva], and I was asked this question earlier tonight my plan for the future is another fight and another win. I would love to eventually make my way back up for the 185-lbs. title but I gotta focused on the next 200-feet in front of me.”

“It would have been nice to put somebody like Lutter on my repotoire of ground-and-pound or submission, but stick to the gameplan, do what I needed to do.”

“I messed up in the beginning and let him get the takedown against the fence, that’s exactly what we worked not to happen.”

“When that kick landed and he started wobbling, I knew that it was it beginning of the end. I just didn’t want to get careless on the ground.”
Matt Serra

“Well the Georges tonight kicked my ass, is that what you’re trying to say?”

“Georges was great man, we thought he might try to do that but he was real explosive, he was strong.”

“I was hoping he would get tired of hitting me.”

“Everytime I rolled back, he’d tried to answer with a strike and that was pretty much the routine that was going down.”
