Тold about preparation for the forthcoming duel, sparrings with Michael Bisping, estimated strong and weaknesses of the rival and as declared desire to carry out matches revenges with Jacquard Sousa and Hector Lombard.

About preparation for a duel and rival:

"I started training with Michael Bisping two years ago. He is the technical fighter and I like to spar with it. Today we don't spar because I have a day of rest. As for my following rival, I know that his name is Brennan Ward, he is a fighter, and quite quite good boxer. He ahead of schedule finished off all the rivals in the Grand Prix and I can't underestimate it. On my party experience, and in it my advantage. Besides I think that Ward the lucky fighter, but luck it is impossible to train. Each winner of the Grand Prix has the right for a meeting with the champion, and to me it isn't important with whom it is necessary to fight. I simply want to fight so often as soon as it is possible"

About UFC and matches revenges with Jacquard and the Pawnshop:

"In due time I lost to Ronaldo Sousa and Hector Lombard, and certainly, I want to requite these defeats. With Jacquard I met at the very beginning of the career when was yet able to fight and had no idea that it is necessary to do in orchestra seats. When I fought with Hector Lombard, I had big problems with a rising from orchestra seats – in fact, I still wasn't able to do it. Now for me it is unimportant, there will be these fighters in UFC or Bellator – time will show. Today they in UFC, and can appear tomorrow any more in UFC. I want to fight with the strongest and certainly, I want to carry out with them matches revenges"

"I think, my career really only began because just now I became the universal fighter – I am able everything, every day everything I become better and I increase the potential. It is hard to say that will be in some years with us and with promotions so I can't predict the future. We will look as everything will develop"
