On Ross Hanson being stripped of the GCC Heavyweight title:
“Ross is a hard worker in the octagon when he has no distractions. Look, he won the Heavyweight title! The kid is a natural fighter, but he had a family emergency. And, I refuse to divulge someone’s family business. Hopefully, one day Ross will fight again. Until then, let him see to his own in peace.”
On the GCC Heavyweight title now being on the line at GFN 17:
“This is just extra motivation to beat Alejandro’s ass. I did not need this, but I will take it. Alejandro and I are two of the most elite fighters in all of GCC so it makes sense to find out who the Baddest Man on the Planet at the main event of Global Fight Night 17. The fight fans are in for a bigger treat than ever.”
On all of the talk up to this point between himself and Alejandro Rivera:
“Alejandro likes to talk. Aleksandr Baranov likes to talk. Each of us can make some very biting remarks to our opponents. I am all about promoting my fight. I want the fans to either want to see me prevail or get knock the fuck out! It is simple economics. Against Ross, I am not afraid to be the first to admit, if they wanted to see me get knock the fuck out against him, well, I guess they got what they wanted. If they want to see me prevail against Alé, they are going to get what they want.”
On TundraMMA’s condition:
“We came roaring out of the gates. Think about it, we are not doing any worse than any other gym out there. It is the beginning of a new season. We were one of the best if not THE best last season. I do not care what those rankings say. We will be back at the top soon. It did not take us very long to make our initial rise.”
On his prediction for how tonight’s Main Event will play out:
“Alejandro will come prepared, but I am going to put him down for good. This will be a clash of titans, and in the 3rd, I will knock him out.”
