It's about 90 degrees down here. I'll fight in the 230s. Will I be all the way back down to 230 (by April 1)? I don't know and I don't care.

All I know is, I can and will be the world champion.

It's not supposed to prejudice a judge, but judges are only human,

We're certain we're going to fight again, whether it is under the court case and my suspension being lifted and reinstated in the U.S. or fighting elsewhere,

If this were the 1970s, when the Top 15 guys were all great, I probably would go home. But it's all about timing, and I could be on top right now.

I think that, as crazy as it sounds, the two-year layoff might be a blessing in this situation.
