"I couldn't think of a worse thing than to be anywhere with Chael Sonnen for 20 minutes." — Josh Barnett

What your strengths are are always going to be the things that you're going to go back to, especially in the that spot where you need to draw from deep within. You're tired. You're exhausted. The ability to really think things through is highly reduced from being in the midst of battle.

I fought 'Travis Browne's' all my career. They just had a different name at a different point in life. They had the same type of skillset. They're basically the same type of guy.

I know there's this idea going around that I bury The Young Bucks on commentary but that's never been the case. If anything, I've only treated them harshly as heels. That's it. When they started turning around from being a heel to a face, it's a whole different story. That's simply a matter of how I see commentary as opposed to beef.

This isn't the Best Friend Fighting Championship. This is MMA.

Reduction of inflexibility means reduction of injuries. That just means being able to move a lot easier and, you know, not looking like Abe Vigoda when you get out of bed in the morning.

I've done commentary before for Pancrase, they had a show called 'Pancrase: Legends of MMA' that aired on Imagination Television. I've done live commentary for PRIDE, I've been around the block a bit.

If you're in Bloodsport, it's because I've seen something in you that shows that you can fight.

Even the wins that I've experienced, I've spent a lot of time reflecting on everything that went into it: where I could've improved, where I did well, what was expected and how that came out, what was unexpected and why did it occur.
