Johny Hendricks: “It feels great to get this win. Martin Kampmann is a tough dude. I trained with him before and knew what he could do. I knew I had to go out there and beat him. I just started hitting that combo a few weeks ago. I want a shot at the title.”

Francis Carmont: “Tom was a very good wrestler. It wasn’t an easy fight. I’m happy with the win but I’ll need to go back work on a few things.”

Rafael dos Anjos: “I watched Mark’s previous fights and he always comes with the same combination. I could tell he got frustrated but I was prepared for him. This has been a good year for me. I got three wins and I’m ready to keep going and improving.”

Patrick Cote: “I was expecting a war with Alessio and that’s exactly what he gave me but there are rules for a reason.”

Alessio Sakara: “I was caught up in the moment and the adrenaline of the fight. It was unintentional and I’m very sorry.”

Cyrille Diabate: “I was looking for the knockout, but he gave me the opportunity to try and submit him, so I went for it.”

John Makdessi: “I trained very hard for this fight. It’s a roller coaster ride of emotion but I’m very happy to be here. I train and I fight, and I’m so thankful I can do that. I’ve been working on my wrestling and striking. Striking is second nature to me. My game plan was to counter and focus on my footwork. I saw him rushing and I knew he was getting desperate so I played it smart. I feel very fortunate right now.”

Antonio Carvalho: “I didn’t execute the stuff we worked on in the gym. It just didn’t happen tonight. I got the win but I wasn’t happy with my performance. I was being efficient with some things, like my leg kicks, but couldn’t get my hands going. My footwork was off and I was very stiff. It is difficult to walk out of this with the win because I know I could have done more. It is nice though to have the win and I’m going to go back and really take a look at my performance and where I can improve."

Matt Riddle: “I feel amazing. I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t do more for the crowd. He was a great opponent but I got him a few times with my patented mule kick. The jumping spin kick is usually my last resort against someone especially talented, and it works every time.”

Ivan Menjivar: "“I did it like Royce Gracie. I let him punch me and then I submitted him.  He had the takedown and landed a few punches. I saw his mistake and grabbed his arm.”

Darren Elkins: “This was a big win for me tonight. Steven Siler was a tough opponent. I felt stronger, faster, more flexible and overall more athletic. This is a great accomplishment.”
