“I'm picking Prates. I think he'll be able to use his length, he'll be able to use Leon going backwards, hurt him going backwards, and make him uncomfortable going backwards. So if I'm Prates, keep him on the fence, keep him going backwards, and I think you can win this fight.”

“Leon, coming off of two losses in a row, is in a very tough spot. You never want to be in a spot where you're on two losses in a row because we're going to see how bad he wants it. You don't get any easier fights when you're the champ... Every fight after that is still one shot, one win away from getting to a title fight.”
