About defeat to Vitor Belfort:

"I could tell that above it, and that doesn't excite me that defeat, but it would be dishonest for my part. I will be higher than it when I will achieve a match revenge and I will win. This my first defeat since 2007, and I dreamed of a successful debut in UFC. Defeats haunt me"

About Chris Weidman and Vitor Belfort's duel:

"I think, Chris will beat it, and certainly, this fight is interesting to me. Most likely, Weidman will translate Belfort down and will control. Chris the clever guy – at it always is the plan for fight and he is the cool fighter. If at it Vitora turns out to transfer to orchestra seats at once, it will be absolutely other world for Belfort. In our duel I made a mistake, having departed from the plan for fight, and was caught by this mad blow. It is sure, Chris won't recede from the chosen strategy and Belforta" will break
