"Lauzon is saying he asked for this fight and it's funny because we made the call for it too. It's a fight that makes sense for what is going on the division, so let's do this. I guess he's a little better with the PR side of things and felt he needed to get to work on that early. It really doesn't matter to me. We have to fight and I'll fight that dude anywhere. I don't really care what he thinks or the gameplan he brings. My focus is on me and being the best I can be for the scrap. He's built up his name; he looked good in his last fight, and this is an opportunity for me to get a win over an opponent with a solid name. This is a big step up for him and every time he's had an opportunity like this, it hasn't worked out too well. Other than his fight with Melvin Guillard, Lauzon hasn't responded when the pressure is on. We're going to scrap, and when it's all said and done, one of us will be closer to a title shot. This division is one of the most competitive in the sport. I know what it takes to be at the top of the weight class and I'm working my way back to that title one fight at a time. This is a big opportunity and I'm going to come into this fight with Lauzon more prepared than I've ever been. I'm going to prove why I deserve to be at the top and he doesn't."
