“I hope he does retire, and I'm the biggest Volk fan out there. I want him to retire if he wins this one, leave it. We don't want two mates fighting each other”

“It's not even stinging now, it's just painful. It feels like someone touched the back of my eyeball. It weren't that bad at first. Didn't feel that bad... It felt like it hit the back of the eye socket when he pushed it in. I just couldn't see... I really respect what Bisping's done. He's done more than I would. I won't carry on fighting with one eye. No chance”

“If they tell me that I've got to fight him [Pereira], I'm obviously gonna fight him. In my opinion, if I fight Alex Pereira, that's gonna be one of the toughest fights of my career, and I'll be treating it that way.Do you know what I mean? I think he's really, really one of the most dangerous guys on the UFC roster. The guy is an elite striker, absolute elite. His grappling is improving as well. I can't say good enough things about Alex Pereira; he's amazing. via TNT Sports”

“I agree with a lot of what Jon says. When you put the resumes next to each other, his resume is far superior to mine. The risk/reward for both of us, his risk is he has everything to lose. He's amazing at everything”

“I say it every time when I see 'DC'. I think he is an absolute nightmare matchup for me. He's short, fit, he's a good wrestler, [and] keeps coming at you. He would have been very, very hard work for me, but I believe I have the power to knock anybody out. So, I think I could beat him, but stylistically he is a terrible matchup for me.”
