"Even when I had him hurt with the right hand in round 2 I kind of pulled back. I took my foot off the gas because I like the guy. I like Youssef too, but if I get him hurt I don't plan to make that mistake again and just go out there and get the finish."
"Youssef is good, but sh*t man I've been doing this for a very long time. I didn't have to get cut and make my way back. He did, he had to dig deep to do that, and I think it's two different type of mental attitudes."
"I've been knocked down, been knocked out, built myself back up and here I am today. I've become a world champion at the bantamweight division. I got the most wins in bantamweight history. I didn't get here by accident."
"This is no cakewalk for Youssef Zalal and if he thinks it's going to be easy, he's got a rude awakening coming this Saturday. I've got to break him, simple as that."
