There's a lot of good guys. Whoever is hot right now. Whoever is the hot dude who is closest to getting that title shot, I'll take it
Sometimes I feel like that belt should be with me right now. Sometimes it actually makes it a little bit harder knowing that everyone thinks I did win ... It does feel good. I think a lot of the people that do think I won still feel I'm the best lightweight in the world. Maybe not the champ, but still the best lightweight in the world right now.
Whoever the top guy, is I couldn't get in there soon enough. It's kind of tough, I wish I knew who that guy was right nowMore quotes »
