"First, time people permanently ask me on it, I will tell that - yes, I am very baffled. Someone told me something it seems "Yes I played soccer with concussion". Well, perfectly, you simply idiots.

I don't give up, but this injury is really enough serious to refuse title battle. It is dangerous to my health in long-term perspective.

On fight with Pettis I had a contract already in hands, but I decided to take a break to be recovered completely. When they offered me fight for December 14, I understood directly that I won't be ready to this time.

Perhaps, I will already feel for hundred percent well in a month, but I didn't train plainly the last three months. Generally, too many it isn't known now and too many costs on a game hasty to accept this battle", - told  Grant.
