I don't really care about the outcome of the fight. It's kind of odd to say that, but I feel like I'm back into my Pride zone of mind. That's when I fought my best fights, when I was in Pride, because there was no pressure - I didn't care. ... Pride was all about the show. They understand in Japan that there can't always be a draw. The guy can't always win. A fighter can't have an undefeated career. They understand that, but as long as he fights with his heart, then they're okay with it. And that's the mentality I'm taking into this fight." |
