If people were trying to decide on who to sign with, Bellator or the UFC, I would ask them to ask themselves what’s more important to them? Longevity in a career? Or just being able to tell your friends that you fought in the UFC?

“It almost killed me. I don’t explain it to people. I downplayed the whole thing. They didn’t know how bad it was. People would text me, and I was in the hospital texting them back like nothing happened. I battled back from it. It messed my body up. My body is still getting healthy from that. “I’m almost there. I feel it now when I’m training with American Top Team doing strength training. I feel it, I feel my body coming back. It’s a good feeling. I think it’s a matter of time, because I’ve still got a few things screwed up with my blood and my red blood count was pretty bad, so now they’re filling me back up. I’ve got to take vitamin C, iron. I’m almost there, man. I’m almost back to where I need to be.” Approximately two-years ago, ‘King Mo’ came down with a sever bout of Staph. It hospitalized him, forced him on the MMA sidelines and according to his recent testimony to MMAFighting.com, he’s still recovering from it.

“My foot is almost 100 percent now. It’s doing okay. I have to recover soon because I want to dance again. I know I just have two fights at 185, and Jacare has more, but I can fight against him.

I can fight Jacare or Vitor.” Ascending rapidly through the UFC middleweight rankings, former light-heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida, discussed last night his future in the division and what he thinks of them crowded top of the middleweight ranks.

“The funny thing is, I’m the victim here. There’s a girl on Twitter talking about a grappling match against Hughes. Then Hughes mentioned it. I said if we’re going to do it, I want to hit the guy. Then he says I have to lose weight. Look, I’m a ninja turtle, I’m at my school, and I’m training six days a week. But I like my pasta. I’ll put it down for the fight. I don’t need anyone make a name off me. I like a legit grudge match between two old champions. I’ll fight him for his job. What the heck does he do? Who’s going to talk to that guy if he has a problem? GSP with his issues, if I was in that job, he’d still be in there fighting.”
