Mike,
Your guys say this fight is personal. All fights are personal.
I don't care how many times we have to look at each other, it doesn't put any fear in my heart cause there's no fear to get.
I'm bringing the belt back to Atlanta.

Evander,
You've got nothing coming to you, man. I'm going to like this. I'm going to have a good time with this fight.
