I'll go for the knockout, and if we have to go 12 rounds, then I'll trust the judges to do their best work, and I will get the victory if I deserve it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I will look for the knockout because that's the way I fight.
I've had five submissions in the first round. I have 3, 4, 5 knockouts. I've had decisions. I've had grinding fights.
In the knockout tournaments, it's futile to prepare for a grand finale. You may have worked out many strategies for the final. But you may lose in the first round itself.
The best feeling is to win by knockout.
I win by submissions, knockouts. There's guys ranked above me, but no one's interested in seeing them fight. They want to see me fight.
I think everyone has knockout power. I mean, it's the heavyweight division.
It's up to the UFC. Whoever they put in front of me, I'll fight.
Everybody would rather get a quick submission, a quick knockout.
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.
I never think about the knockouts. I go into every fight, do my work, and none of that stuff puts pressure on me at all.
