“Underneath, above, to the side, standing up… He’s going to get hit, he’s going to get hit a lot. He doesn't have any small talk this time. When it gets inside it will swallow all the teeth in its mouth. I'm going to pull out tooth by tooth. After I beat him, a lot of people will be scared about what will happen to the sport”, said Anderson, who never stopped provoking his rival.

“There’s not much to do. I'm going to punch him. The joke is over, the talking is over. You're getting closer to the truth. I'm 100% and I'm going to break his face. I'm going to kick him out of the UFC. You'll get hit like you've never been hit before. I'm going to beat him to learn how to be polite, everything he didn't learn from mom and dad, to learn to respect people and people's parents”, concluded the champion.
