If he is interested in having Brock Lesnar come to Bellator:
“You know it’s whatever he chooses to do. You know because Pro Wrestling’s not easy. I wouldn’t mind seeing Brock in Bellator. That’d would be cool. I wouldn’t mind seeing anybody that’s supposed to help Bellator, help MMA as a whole. Because one thing about the UFC and one thing about these other organizations is they’re too worried about just promoting just their organization instead of the actual sport itself, or the actual event itself. Like you saw at the last Bellator fight they showed Luke Rockhold and a few of the other UFC fighters [and] Dan Henderson in the crowd. It’s about promoting MMA. At Basketball games you’ll see them show football players or famous actresses in the crowd. You know, same thing in football games. You’ll see UFC or Basketball players on the sidelines. You know, world cup they showed Kobe Bryant at the world cup. Man, like forget the brands, let it be about the fighters and about the sport.”
The WWE Royal Rumble:
“You know what, I wish Bubba Ray [Dudley] was in later on. I wish they would bring back Diamond Dallas Page. I wish like they would bring back more old wrestlers to do it. I wish they increased the number from 30 to maybe like 40. You know certain things and make it a faster a pace, because after a while you saw all the big guys and they were just slumbering. It wasn’t fast paced enough. Like after people watch Wrestle Kingdom 9, and after they watch like Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and they see these independent shows; and they’re watching the Young Bucks and you know NXT. They’re watching the guys from that who wrestle, the pace is a lot faster. So now they have to step their game up, because I watched the Royal Rumble and I’m like “eh”. After the triple threat match I was like “eh, this is lame.”
Watching CM Punk train:
“He moves like a Jiu Jitsu guy. Everything about him screams Jiu Jitsu, you know what I’m saying. I’ve never seen anyone that’s so passionate about something and is willing to learn, be a failure.”
