I wasn't hurt, I just wanted to create a little drama. No, that's just a joke. Dave clipped me and he hits hard.

I'm being recognized by men that are 60 years old and young girls that are nine years old - and everything in between. The sport appeals to a wide range of fans.

I knew Dave was a very dangerous fighter.

It's the first fight I've ever had where it had to go to a decision. So I'm very displeased with myself.

It wasn't a dominant performance because it went to a decision. I'm very displeased with myself.

Dave and I, we're friends and I have a lot of respect for him. It's going to be an exciting fight. We both always show up to fight and we're both well-rounded fighters.
