'You know he can be as nice as pie to me outside the octagon but when we’re fighting I'm going to try and knock his を回避する. It’s just part of the sport, as soon as the bell’s finished, we’ll shake 手渡すs and be 罰金.'

'I’m going to try and finish him within the first 一連の会議、交渉／完成する but if that doesn't happen I’ll just try and do that for three five minute 一連の会議、交渉／完成するs. This is the biggest scalp I’ve had the chance to take in my career.'

'I’ve always fought 正統派の guys so I’d never really had to solve that puzzle. It was really a pathetic （軍の）野営地，陣営.?

'I think it’s a very fun fight, you know he has a lot of movement and I’d say he’s more dangerous in the grappling area.?

'He’s got good chokes and stuff but I know I have more 力／強力にする than he does. I have good submissions 同様に that not a lot of people get to know about because not many of my fights go to the 床に打ち倒す. Stylistically I’m 確信して in the match-up.

'It’s got the makings of a very exciting fight, I’m thinking it will go to the 裁判官s and as long as he doesn’t get the hometown advantage I’ll 勝利，勝つ on 決定／判定勝ち（する）… if I 港／避難所’t already knocked him out 冷淡な!'

Pickett has followed the 37-year-old every step of the way and and 主張するs there is no 'animosity' between them.?

'Of course you can’t fight all your life so I think this is a good match up for both of us,' he 追加するs. We’re both at a later point of our lives.
