We need more guys that are solid talents all around and Frank Mir proved himself and I don't think anyone is going to second guess him every again.

I'm proud of them and I am happy to see that the Frank Mir that we all wanted to see back in the day is truly here and I think he's here to say. I have a really good friend in his trainer, Ken Hahn at Striking Unlimited and I'm glad that they're getting the respect that they deserve now.

I think when it comes to Anderson Silva, it comes down to his speed, his distance and his timing are impeccable. They are second to none and that's what makes him dangerous.

I follow K-1 closely and also train Ray Sefo. My heart is with K-1 and I love the sport of standup kickboxing.

I think really, if I were to defend the K-1 strikers, that it was a pressure of not enough time to re-prepare for a fight and not enough time to repair for a fight as a result of the last show.

I've been around fighters enough to know that you have to be able to give 100 percent of your effort and time into training for a sport.

I have too many guys that count on me as a coach so in 2009 you're going to see me in a lot of cages and rings but I'll only be in them to corner my fighters.
