"I think they are just afraid. I understand. That playboy is still in shock from the kick. He's in shock. People are in shock. That's the word. Lions don't apologize for being lions. I don't. It is what it is... Eighteen years ago, I was in this game. I had to fight twice in one night. In 2004, I became the light heavyweight champion. I'm so glad that I'm still here, and I think that affects a lot of people, and give joy to a lot of people. A lot of guys they are just mama's boys with powder in their butts. When you get knocked out, just shut your mouth, go to the gym and train. Eighteen years ago, all of these boys were in high school, and right now they think they are going to use me as a ladder? But the ladder is so high, the altitude is so high they cannot breathe. Hey bro, the altitude is too high."

-Vitor Belfort responds to Luke Rockhold and other critics in an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour.

Penick's Analysis: This is pretty much as "Vitor" as it gets. The rambling is strong, and somehow he thinks "playboy" is some type of insult to Rockhold. He's going to remain oblivious to why people have the reactions they do to him, and that's just a reality of things. Rockhold may yet get another fight with Belfort, whether that's in a title fight or sometime in the future, but this type of response from Belfort won't do much to bother him.
