Darren Till: "I can take every shot. Look at the shots I took from all the guys I fought at middleweight. No one knocked me out. Nobody knocked me out at middleweight, and I fought all the best guys. [Robert] Whittaker, Dricus [du Plessis], all them guys, [Kelvin] Gastelum. I laughed at everyone and I've got a f***ing chin. You got battered by Mike Perry, and let me just tell ya, I'm not even looking for the Mike Perry fight now. He's that much of a bum. He's the biggest bum out there. He's a bum."

Luke Rockhold: "I can move better than anybody… on my feet. I can hit harder than anybody with both of my hands and I am working hard and I ain’t getting tired. I think people have got a false representation of my last fight in the UFC. Obviously, I looked tired and old… I was f****** off for three years. During COVID, I was living like Darren Till. These last three or four years since, I have been working hard. I have a here and there, but I wake up the next morning, I run and work and I am diligently being a better man everyday and I am in shape. I am excited to go out there and perform."
