ANTON KUIVANEN
"This win feels awesome! I got off to a slow start in the second and third rounds and wasn't able to go as hard as I wanted. I really wanted to use my stand up more. I feel like it was a close fight but I knew in the third I had him."
ANTONIO CARVALHO (TKO - R1 - 1:11)
"I was very nervous about this fight and scared of Daniel. Once things got going in there I knew it was my night. I saw my opening, felt the energy and went in for the kill. I couldn't be happier. I worked really hard with my training partners for this."
BRYAN CARAWAY (RNC, R3 1:39)
"I thought he was going to get tired a lot sooner. He had better cardio than I thought but I wore him down and knew he wasn't going to last. My technique improved and it showed. I'm happy I was able to finish him and get the win."
RYAN JIMMO (TKO, R1 7 sec)
"I watched lots of videos of Anthony going into this fight. I knew what I had to do and had a great strategy. I'm excited about this win and am ready to take on my next oppenent. I want to build myself slowly though, improving and growing. I was the better guy tonight and I'm happy with the win."
FRANSISCO RIVERA (KO, R1, 4:19)
"I felt his power but I knew I was going to catch him. I saw his hands start dropping and went for it. I trained very hard for this fight and it paid off. I wanted him to feel my punches. I did what I do best. I'm up there in the division and have knockout power. I'm going to take things one fight at a time and continue to work on my game. This fight was for my mom. She's ill and I wanted to show her that we're still fighting for her and how much we love her."
JAMES HEAD (Split Decision)
"I couldn't be happier with the win. I went for a couple of takedowns and struck him hard. I was able to outwork him [Brian] and it paid off. He wanted to get me to the ground but I knew needed to outplay him."
BRIAN EBERSOLE
"I took the fight on short notice and it wasn't my best. I'm going to take a look at my performance, go from there and figure out my next steps."
MATTHEW RIDDLE
"I got out there and had a good time. The UFC loves me and I love the UFC. I also love hearing the crowd roar so I try to give them a good show. My arm triangle went from ok to outstanding. I trained hard and improved on a lot of things and I think it showed out there. I used my grappling to try and take him to the ground because I knew Chris was a worldclass striker. He landed some good elbows but I played my stregnths and it worked.
CHRIS CLEMENTS
"I wasn't good out there and didn't get the win. I tried to give it all I could but I could hardly breath. I couldn't catch my breath and it hurt me in the end."
NICK RING
"I never felt so much support in my life. I can't thank the fans enough for cheering me on and giving me that extra bit of energy I needed. I think Court had plenty of fight left in him. I respect him as a person and an athlete. I gave everything I had out there. Even when I was hurting I kept going and put it all out there. I was going to keep fighting till the end."
COURT MCGEE
"I gave him everything I had and unfortunately it didn't work out in my favor. I always work hard and I'm not giving up on my dream."
CHEICK KONGO (Unanimous Decision)
"I tried to keep control of him. I hit him with some good strikes and landed a few good knees. I even stopped his takdowns. I need to go back on work on a few things but I'm glad I got the win. I will continue to train hard with my camp."
TIM BOETSCH (Split Decision)
"I was glad to give him [Hector] his first loss thought I wasn't too thrilled with how things went. I landed a few strikes. My foot is a testiment to that. Hector is heavy handed and a tough fighter. He is going to beat up a lot of guys and put on a lot of good fights in the UFC. He's a power striker but I knew that and was able to put together a good strategy to beat him."
