Frank: "BJ's tough man. I think he's obviously the champ for a reason. I think he's the toughest in the weight class. He'd be tough to deal with. He's good everywhere."

Matt: "Your lone carrer loss is to Xtreme Couture's Gray Maynard. How important is it to you to rematch with Gray someday and get that loss back? Is that something you even think about?"

Frank: "Yeah, you kind of can't help thinking about something like that. Everyone wants a shot at someone who beat them up before. I don't know how soon into the future it will happen, but someday I'd like to get a rematch with Gray. In that fight everything he brought to the table I was ready for as far as wreslting goes, but that night it just didn't go my way."

Matt: "Now you're working with Ricardo Almeida on your jiu-jitsu. How's that working out for you?"

Frank: "I've been been with Ricardo for three and a half months now. He's a great guy and has some awesome jiu-jitsu. He's been in MMA for a long time. It's been great over there."

Matt: "How big of an advantage has it given you in Almeida's gym being such a great wrestler? Has it been easy for you to incorporate his jiu-jitsu teachings into the MMA game?"

Frank: "He's seen what I've got and he's just making me better. He's helping me with my jiu-jitsu game so I can get in there and submit some people."

Matt: "So this last Saturday night there was a lot of MMA action going on. Did you catch the rest of the Fight Night card you were on?"

Frank: "Oh man, I'll tell you Anderson Silva is a beast. I was hoping he'd get tested a little better than he did. Everyone wants to see a great fight, but he's just so precise with everything."

Matt: "Did you happen to catch Affliction card at all, specifically the Fedor Emelianenko/Tim Sylvia fight?"

Frank: "I didn't see it yet but I know the result. I thought Fedor was going to win, I just didn't think it was going to be that quick."

Matt: "Another big match coming up that has to interest you is the Kenny Florian/Roger Huerta fight taking place in a couple weeks. Break down that fight for me."

Frank: "I'm really bad at predictions but I think that's going to be a great fight. I think it's going to be a pretty high paced fight. Huerta always brings it and Florian is pretty high paced himself. They're pretty equal on the ground. Florian probably has better jiu-jitsu skills but Huerta has really good jiu-jitsu defense so I think it's pretty even down the middle."
