[ Q ] Some people have come out and said that it was a lucky punch that took out Chuck [Liddell]. What's your response to this?
[ A ] Eh, "Who cares"? They didn't see my training. They're a lot of haters. Was it a lucky punch the first time I beat his @ss in Japan? Was that a lucky punch too?

Well that question doesn't really reflect my opinion. It's what's said out there though. You know, to be honest with you, that fight was a racist fight, so I feel like anybody who said it was a lucky punch, most likely that they were haters.
[ Q ] What's your relationship with Chuck like outside of the octagon?
[ A ] Outside he's a cool dude, you know. When I see him I see him, we're nice to each other, we don't hate each other.

[ Q ] Is there a certain type of music that gets you psyched before you train?
[ A ] Music? No. I don't need that stuff. You know, I don't know if you guys understand, but I see training strictly as a job. I don't have to take no medicines, no drugs, I don't need no music or nothing to get me going.

[ A ] I got into MMA so that I could keep wrestling after college.

[ Q ] I understand that you are in a new movie called Midnight Meat Train, can you tell me a little about that and your role in the movie?
[ Q ] When's that going to be out?
[ Q ] One of your co-stars Vinne Jones used to be quite a violent pro soccer player prior to his acting career. Did he want to exchange a few moves with you?
[ A ] Vinne Jones is actually one of the nicest dudes I met in a long time, all we did is have great laughs and have a good time. He didn't want to know anything about fighting. I didn't even know that he was a violent soccer player, you couldn't tell by hanging out with the guy. He is the nicest guy. Maybe not so much when you pissed him off. Like you pissing me off asking me these questions about knocking out Chuck with a lucky punch.

[ Q ] Where do you consider your best fan base is at?
[ A ] I don't know. I guess I would say the fans that know me the best are my Japanese fans. I can't talk to them, because they don't speak English. The American fans are growing on me.
