Thanks to mmafighting.com for bringing this chat to the fans.
Who are your top 5 favorite fighters?
Frankie Edgar, Tom Lawlor, Anderson Silva, Jens Pulver, and Roy Nelson
After this fight, who would you like to fight next?
I never look ahead of a fight, but as of right now it would be, I would like to fight the winner of BJ Penn and Matt Hughes. I know Chris Lytle would like to fight me
Who do you think are top 5 pound for pound fighters
Jose Aldo, is #1, and then the champions of their weight classes, I don’t think Fedor is up there, he has slowed down.. Bj Penn is up there even with his 2 losses to Frankie Edgar
How do you feel after this camp?
This is the first training camp I’ve went thru with no injuries, and I feel great
After your fight with gsp, have you worked on your wrestling?
I have spent two months of camp on wrestling and ju jitsu. Don’t be surprised if I don’t take Carlos down and choke him out
Who do you want to win out of Brock Lesner or Cain Velasquez?
I would like to see Cain with, but I think Brock is just too big.. I think they need to divide the heavyweight division up, because Brock is a big heavyweight, and they need to make it so the smaller guys, don’t fight the bigger guys
Anderson Silva or Vitor Belfort?
I’m going to go out on a limb and say Vitor, I’m ready for a change and I was disappointed in the Chael Sonnen fight. I’ve trained with Vitor and he has fast hands and great movement.
How do you feel about 1 year suspensions for performance enhancing drugs?
It’s too long, but your always going to have a problem with P.E.D. in sports, I think getting caught is enough of an embarrassment, but a fine and short suspension would be best
Whats your biggest concern about fighting Carlos?
He trains with Greg Jackson’s camp, and those guys don’t like to push the action, they like to play it safe and go for decision wins, and he is going to run away from me
If Koscheck defeats Georges St-Pierre for the title in December, how fast would you like a title shot?
That’s up to the fans, when the fans think I’m ready, that’s when I want my shot
Fitch just called out the winner of Kampmann/Shields fight, Would you also like the fight the winner of that fight?
I wanna fight who ever will get me one step closer to the title, if its one of those guys, ill do it..but I have no interest in fighting those 3 guys, they like to lay and pray, and I like to bring the action. I think Lytle would be a great fight for me because he likes to throw punches just like I do.
Do you think Octagon Control, should be removed from the judges scorecards?
Yes I do, because then you could lay on someone for 15 mins without doing damage, you should get points for trying to finish the fighter, like strikes, slams, submission attempts.
