UFC Quick Quote: Move over Vitor, ‘Ace’ wants a crack at the 205-pound title

“He’s tough. I don’t think people here in the States realize how tough he is because he’s been out of the UFC for so many years. But he’s evolved as a fighter and he’s more dangerous as a fighter now than he was five or six years ago. He’s very well rounded and definitely a tough challenge.

If I don’t beat Vitor I’m that much further back, so I have to be focusing on Vitor.”
