They say styles make fights and both of these guys have well rounded games. What do you have your eyes on in this fight. But I have -- I is on who's that guy that will win the fight then that's what it is that's that's what I'm gonna have blank eyes on. So whoever win them and right now. Well we all know you've been looking forward to that now -- Nick Diaz after next went over BJP and think college out -- you accepted the challenge with open arms.

And then not now either. -- -- oh yeah and notice. Where you're one of the best game planners and MMA or any sport for that matter you always seem to execute however you've been criticized for a lack of action. In some of your fights do you take that personally or is winning the only thing that matters to you. Now you -- you know you try to win as the main thing but you know it's. And then to criticize that criticism is always there and -- want to finish my there's nobody more no Wheldon myself -- to finish right. But I've been working on different stuff than I can't wait to fight again you know it's it's like doesn't always happen at them that the way you want. What were based here in northern California on the Stockton got myself a lot of us don't care whether you win or lose it's more about the fight. If you're -- -- -- the road down and put on a good show for the fans that's what people are -- about. What is your overall mentality when you're stepping inside the octagon what do you wanna accomplish. And wanna win one day you wanna take that guy out that wins.

He -- you wanna you wanna know you wanna be the best one of the best of them. -- -- -- are fighting each other to beat him to know who's the best man best -- that's what it is all about. Where you're quite familiar with another nor cal based fighter in this one this guard Josh 'cause check. He's second on Mike pierce you've said that you wouldn't fight Josh again -- there's nothing left to -- but what happens if you're still hold that title. And he works his way back into the title contention. We'll fight again -- -- Do you feel like you're on at once -- way and I thought when. Do you feel like there's a rush for you to get back and start -- -- are you gonna make sure that knee is a 100%. Before even thinking about taking anyone on. I feel rushed to come back and fight but. That's the worst thing I can do we actually. Led the fight to him and yet I was come back stronger and better. And we believe you definitely well one thing for sure you can always going there and battled the best George saint Pierre.
