He's a great kick boxer. He's got a lot of reach. He's actually one guy that I'd like to know that I'm fighting before hand. If I had known it was him, I would have gotten taller guys in to spar with.
Do you feel that you are going to have to change the way you come out fighting and take it to Semmy Schilt more, considering this is the Grand Prix? Or are you going to wait and see?
I'm not a game planner. My game plans are always loose. I just go out and fight. I'm sure it will be a different fight than Heath Herring. He's got a lot of reach.

What kind of trainer is Chuck Liddell? How does he prepare you?
Yeah, he'll kick your ass and make you work hard but he's an athlete and he understands when he needs to back off or step it up. I've had wrestling coaches and I'd show up ready to go one day and they'd say go easy. I'd show up beat up another day and they'd want me to do too much.
Pride :
You're known for your grappling as much as anything. Do you want to exploit that?
It's a big deal being here competing for the Grand Prix Championships. I would have come if they had given me 2 days notice. It's a big deal. It's really important.

Anybody else you'd like to fight if you had the chance?
