“I’m really excited about making a name for myself in the United States in mixed martial arts. I’ve fought in the U.S. in Muay Thai and Full Contact Karate, but this is my first fight in MMA. I’ll fight anybody.’’

JAIME FLETCHER

“I’m ready to go put on a show. I expect him to come out hard but if I get in first, it might throw him off. This is another great opportunity EliteXC and SHOWTIME have given me and I will take advantage.’’

DEBI PURCELL

“I feel like this is going to end by knockout in one round, or by submission in the second. I’m ready, feel really good and am 100 percent.

“But this is going to be a really hard fight, definitely the toughest of my career. My plan is to come out strongly and remain strong. That’s always been my plan though. The key is for me to stick to it.’’

ROSI SEXTON:

“I am really excited about fighting in the United States and on SHOWTIME and fighting such an esteemed fighter like Debi. I have a lot of respect for her and for what she has done for women’s MMA.

“Fighting is a science and the most technical sport. You have to be able to mesh skills that people work their whole life to perfect. I can’t wait to show what I can do.’’

KEITH BERRY:

“I still try and go out and finish fights as soon as possible. I’m just going to stay on him the whole fight until I knock him out and I get the win.

“Being so young (20) and fighting for only two years I almost always am in against older, more experienced fighters.

“Anyone can fight on the street but not anyone can fight on SHOWTIME in a cage. I did street fighting and it is nothing. I am really excited about Friday and making a good impression.’’

RAY LIZAMA:

“I’ve seen tapes of Berry and watched him so I am familiar with him and his style. He likes to stand and fight. Just like me.

“With this kind of matchup, style-wise this cannot be anything but an exciting fight for the fans.’’
