Exciting fighters put on exciting fights, and that's what fans want to see.
I just want fights like that. Fights that get me excited. Fights that are going to be exciting.
Hopefully in 2011 the fans will get to see some fights that they want to see. Manny Pacquiao Vs. Floyd Mayweather needs to happen, and so does David Haye Vs. Wladimir Klitschko. The fans deserve to see fights that they want to see and not just the fights that the promoters want to see.
Anyone who has seen my fights knows I'm going to put on an exciting performance and give you your money's worth.
I don't want to be one of those guys who fights until they're 38, 40 years old. I don't want to put my wife through that, and I don't want to put my kids through that.
I don't watch a lot of featherweight fights yet some of those fights are the best fights ever.
Bellator and Viacom want to give fans exciting fights and enable fighters to continue to grow and most importantly provide for their family, and it's something I want to be a part of.
These kinds of fights, these big fights that get everyone talking and interested, these are the fights I want.
I've told the UFC brass I want big fights: fights that are going to put money in their pockets and money in my pockets and staple me as one of the best of all-time.
If they want me against Jessica Eye, that's great. I will watch her fights and train hard to do another exciting fight for the fans.
With a television show, it's about fighting to get it on the screen every week. It's like going into battle, and you have to fight these fights. Some are big fights, some are skirmishes, some you can come to detente on, but it's always a fight.
A big misconception is that women shouldn't be in the UFC because we fight 'like girls,' but I think women have some of the most exciting fights.
Let's go back to super-fights. Let's put on fights that are great live or on television.
I want to entertain the fans and put on great fights and have 'Fight of the Nights' and have exiting matchups, but at the same time I want to be the undisputed world champion.
Some of those guys show a lot of promise, especially Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. Even the kid Joseph Parker, who Joshua is about to fight, shows a lot of promise. I'm looking forward to some really exciting fights in the heavyweight division to come.
All of my fights have been exciting, even the lopsided ones. I am not concerned about taking a conscious approach to making my style more exciting. I think I go out there and fight in the manner that works best for me getting a win and it just so happens that it's good to watch.
