Tyron Woodley wants Kamaru and Colby, then move to 185
"It’s going to be a lot of emotion in the Colby Covington fight. It’s going to be a lot of emotion in the Usman fight. But outside of those two fights in that division, those are the ones that excite me the most, and after I get my belt and defend, if I fight Usman and beat him, I got to give him the rubber match. I can’t just say, ‘Nah-nah-nah, you can’t get me.’ I’ve got to give him a chance to get back out there and prove it. Then fighting Colby, obviously. Then I’m looking at 185 after that.” h/t MMA Junkie
Michel Pereira releases statement following FOTN loss
“I got tired but not because of the things I did, but for the huge weight cut I had. I cut [38.5 pounds] by myself, with no one else, and dealing with the stress of helping with my cornerman’s visa who wasn’t there. Everyone else had someone to help, I was alone there. It’s not an excuse, but I know I’m a fighter that grows as rounds goes by, but I got tired since my body shut down in the beginning of the second round. I fight for you guys, to put on a show or you. Let’s support more and criticize less. I fight this way to make UFC more fun. Fighters today only think about winning and put on boring fights, and that’s why MMA is decreasing so much. I want to make my fans happy by watching my fights, but this time things happened and led to my defeat. I lost to myself. I will be back to do it even better. You’ll see I have cardio to fight three rounds no problem.” h/t MMA Fighting • Instagram (original Portuguese language)
10 things Cowboy Cerrone can't live without
Urijah Faber appreciates The Cringe and aims to silence it
“To snatch up a couple of belts and a gold medal and silence the cringe would be a great step in the right direction for me. ... He’s naturally a ‘25-pounder, I’m a big ‘35-pounder. He’s got the wrestling pedigree, I’ve got better jiu-jitsu. He breaks guys and I don’t break, so I think that’s a good matchup. ... it’s kind of smart what he’s doing actually. Henry is trying to do something that’s important to me, which is re-establish the 125-pound weight class. I don’t think it was fair for him to put blame on Demetrious, one of the best champions of all-time, for not holding it down, but he’s getting a bunch of people to talk about him. ... He’s got Dominick Cruz, one of the best fighters in the history of the division, of all-time, speaking about him. He’s got the girls speaking about him for all the wrong reasons, which we knew that was gonna happen. He’s trying to get some clout, get some recognition, and he’s going to get himself beat up most likely. He called me out, one week later I answered the call, and then he starts calling out girls and looking at birds and everything else, so if he wants it, he can get it.” h/t MMA Fighting • Watch UFC Vancouver Q&A

“Khabib Nurmagomedov is there for sure. There’s Jon Jones as well. There’s Henry Cejudo, who I think is very hard to beat. If you look at what he’s accomplished, it’s a lot. So Jon Jones, Henry Cejudo, and Khabib. And let’s not forget about Amanda Nunes. She’s the best female fighter of all time. ... This is a subjective question. The thing with mixed martial arts, it’s all subjective. If you ask me who is the fastest man of all time, it’s Usain Bolt. It’s objective because there’s a time. If you ask me who is the strongest man in Olympic lifting, we have a record, it’s objective. But because of the subjectivity in MMA, it’s all about opinion. Therefore, there’s no good answer to that." h/t BJPenn.com • Watch Helen Yee interview

“It feels great to get my first win this year. I had a great camp at Fortis MMA. We went over some really specific game plans and stayed true to the work. I came out here with a really great support system and it was just about following through. I was really proud of myself for going out there and letting it all go. Switching camps helped a lot. One of the things I loved about Fortis was that it was just about things inside the Octagon, we went over everything that we as athletes have to deal with. We only have a certain amount time in here, so it was about taking advantage of that and leaving a legacy behind. Next for me is to rest up and not think too much for a bit,” he said. “We’ll see what happens. Now, it’s about climbing the rankings, seeing who is ahead of me and taking them out.” h/t Sherdog
