"I'm not overlooking anybody, but my plan is to beat Mike Whitehead, then keep on winning... I fight to win, so any opponent from here on out, I envision myself beating them. It doesn't matter who it's against... The fight with me and Mike Whitehead was supposed to happen at 205 (pounds), but I don't think he wanted to fight at 205. I think he's kind of big right now; he probably just wanted to stay comfortable at heavyweight. I was like, 'If you're comfortable at heavyweight, I'll fight you where you're comfortable at. It means nothing to me'... Fedor has a few tough fights on the radar with Fabricio (Werdum) and (Alistair) Overeem. He has his hands full right there. I just have to do my thing and keep winning. If he keeps winning, and I keep winning, it could happen... I could see Fabricio beating him, and I could see Overeem beating him. Anybody can be beaten at any given time. You've just got to be prepared. He is only fighting once or twice a year. He looks good, but you can't expect to improve that much when you're fighting once or twice a year... I have a feeling [Gegard Mousasi's] going to be at 185 again, eventually. I have a feeling that I'm going to be the reason he goes back down."
