“He flexed and I said, ‘Man, you see how big his back is?’ To see a guy who’s six-four and that thick, and long muscles on top of that, athletically moving, I was impressed. It’s funny how things hit you. I was like, ‘I know why he got the tattoo! It was to take everybody’s mind off the fact that he has boobs.’ You know they kind of hang, when he jumps, they bounce up and down. So I thought, ‘Oh, it’s a diversion. Look at my dumb tattoo so you can keep your mind off my very feminine chest muscles.'”

“Since Hector Lombard has been in the UFC, he’s been mediocre at best. But at the same time, he’s been fighting high-caliber fighters. Yushin Okami has been in the top five for a long time, you know, so he’s no slouch. At the same time, he was asking for a title shot, I felt he needed to prove his own in the weight class. So, he’s being introduced to the UFC. Down the road, if it presents itself, yeah I’d fight Hector Lombard. I’m definitely a guy that accepts any fight that the UFC throws at me, you know? I’m that guy. But at the same time, I wanna show the world that I can definitely compete at that weight class and I can fight high-caliber fighters.” – Courtesy Rick Lee
