Run down what happened in the fight as you remembered it.
We went at each other, exchanged, clinched, Darrill hit me with a good knee and then got his range and then I took him down after he got off some shots. I hit him a few times before I got caught in a triangle and went to sleep.
Do you normally watch back your fights, and either way what was your reaction to your performance while watching it on TV last night?
There were so many things I could have done and should have done but that is all 20/20 hindsight.
I know you were going in looking to win that fight to quell some of the grief you were getting in the house, did things get any better or worse once you finally fought?
Things stayed the same, but now I felt like crap because I lost.
Rampage didn't leave you high and dry as he had some others on your team, but what was said to you by the coaches following the loss, if anything?
He said you just gave him $5,000 how does that make you feel?
What was your reaction to some of the coaches thoughts about you in the episode after watching it last night?
Fuck Tiki he is an asshole!!!!!!!!
Were you pissed off at Kimbo even more for celebrating the cut you suffered in preparation for the fight?
Yes, who does that? It really was classless to do that.
Did you have any other thoughts on this episode featuring your fight that we haven't touched yet?
I just hope people will take from this that I am a fighter and I did come to fight and I just got beat.

"There's still a large contingent of people, that they just want to see these guys almost die, or the other guy almost die and come back, and sometimes fights are like that. Certainly they are. But sometimes you get technical masterpieces too, and to hate a beautiful, technical fight - you're not really a fight fan...
Diaz has a granite chin, possesses perhaps the best recovery in the sport, his pace and conditioning are second to none and he sets records with the volume of his punches almost every time he steps into the cage. Nick Diaz is simply designed to fight the way he fights, and not many other fighters are...
"There was a lot of poison going on around there and I'm really disappointed because we had a good thing going. It was a good thing and I think people's egos got in the way. Well, not people just Javier, his ego got in the way, and too many cameras in the gym and him trying to build himself up and his brand, his AKA brand...
