""To be honest, with the last fight, I think it was a little bit of me ego got in the way. I wanted to knock him out. I wanted to strike with him and show everyone I can strike. I wanted a war. When you're trying to take him down in the fifth round after he bludgeoned you at the end of the second, it's quite hard. Back to fight IQ. Back to the game plan and not just swinging recklessly.""
""I had a perfect camp for the last fight, and that never went perfect in the cage, did it? So, I think getting back to having a little bit of a mad, disruptive fight camp, when I had me best fights. Bobby Green and Michael Chandler, both fight camps weren't perfect, but everything ended up perfect when I got in the Octagon.""
