Q - What are your thoughts on the fight? Are you happy with the result? A - Im very disappointed with the result of the fight. I feel that it barely had time to get started before the referee stepped in. I was able to get the takedown immediately which was really good and something that we worked on leading up to this fight. I made a mistake by letting Verboom stand back up so easily. Then I got kicked, and hurt, but I didnt drop and still felt fine. I am confident that if the ref let us go I could have recovered and at the very least my opponent and I could have put on a better fight for the fans.
Q - What did you think of your opponent and his skills? A - My opponent is a very powerful fighter and I expected to take some damage in this fight. We are heavyweights and even just one strike can do a lot of damage. The reality is that we are fighters, I understand the referees try to keep us safe, but it is our job to get a little beat up and keep on fighting. So let us do that.
Q - Who do you think will advance in your bracket? A - Well, the final is set and Im excited to be watching it. Its a great matchup.
Q - What can you improve on in the future? A - I guess my durability a little. I didnt have enough time to showcase much tonight.. its hard to be prepared for the shots that these big guys can land. But if the refs arent going to do a good job I need to improve in some other areas instead.
Q - Who impressed you on the card tonight? A - Verboom still deserves a lot of credit. It isn't his fault that the ref didnt do his job right and he did land some big shots. So good on him.
Q - After the loss, where do you go from here? A - Im just going to keep on working and hope that this all works out. Losing is hard but hopefully it pays off. I feel like Im the best grappler in the heavyweight division. Problem is that it seems grapplers haven't really been having too much success at this stage of the game. Hopefully my team and I can set up the right strategies to allow for me to be a grappler.
Q - Who would you like to fight next? A - Maybe someone else who lost in the tournament? I dunno, Ill fight anyone. I look forward to a rematch with Verboom down the line too.

Yoon-Seok Lee
What are your thoughts on the fight? Are you happy with the result? I can do better. I am sloppy. I lucked out with a win. I let my opponent hit me a couple times, he should've knocked me out, but he didn't, so I hit him hard.
What did you think of your opponent and his skills? Tough man. Not tough enough.
What do you think of the tournament? What about your next opponent? So far so good I guess. Kang-ssi made it to finals and he look very good. I stand to fight him next. He tough opponent, I know. But it will be good fight, hope I don't get knocked out.
Who do you think will advance in your bracket? Confidence is key. Kang-ssi is a monster. Very strong. I will use my technique to throw him off! But of course, I must think of myself first.
What can you improve on in the future? Many things. My striking is sloppy. My ground game is sloppy. Everything. I am not happy.
Who impressed you on the card tonight? Many impressive. de Groot-ssi, Kang-ssi, Verboom-ssi. I take back what I say about Davis and Anderson. Mr. Jamin Anderson very tough man. Great fight I enjoyed it alot! However, I still believe I can beat them both. They can not distinguish me. I am proud Korean, not Chinese. If we fight, I will make sure to show them. But yes, congratulations Mr. Davis, you guys have prove me wrong. Bimbo-ssi fought the good fight. I am not impressed by his opponent running away in that last round. Very dishonorable. Bimbo true warrior yes. de Groot Looked fabulous. I am proud of his improvement. He has been working hard, I see him train very hard and it shows. All he needs is more confidence! Kang.. my next opponent. Very strong finish. One punch man. I look forward to fighting you. Verboom... he is on a whole another level. He got mad at Artem and gave him 3 kicks from hell. Truly frightening... I am impressed.
Were you happy you were able to get the finish? Yes. If I did not, very dishonorable. Maybe I am too prideful.
Who would you like to fight next? I probably fight Kang next. But I would love to fight Verboom. And as for Bimbo, I would love to fight him. He is a true warrior, I will give him a fight worthy of one.

[Kang Yeong-gi]
Q - What are your thoughts on the fight? Are you happy with the result? A - I wanted to fight more! I am sure my opponent would have wanted that too.
Q - What did you think of your opponent and his skills? A - I wish I could say something of my opponent, but he collapsed far too early.

Q - What are your thoughts on the fight? Are you happy with the result? A - Yes, this is what I was hoping for. I'm not happy my opponent is complaining about the stoppage. It was not an early finish. He is lucky I didn't put him in the cemetary. He should be thankful for that, not complaining after he got destroyed.
Q - What did you think of your opponent and his skills? A - His skills are good. I studied the film. I know his movements. I knew I would win this fight. I knew he would try to take me down so I worked on my defense, which worked to perfection. I'm too fast for these heavyweights to keep me down. And nobody can strike with me. I feel bad for my opponent, he had no chance. It's too bad he has to cry.
Q - What do you think of the tournament? What about your next opponent? A - The tournament is entertaining. I'm starting to wonder about the talent in the tournament however. Every match I've had is easy.
Q - Who do you think will advance in your bracket? A - De groot is a good fighter, he showed some ground game in this fight. That tells me he is preparing to take me down. Unfortunately for him, I am just too fast. He will not be able to catch me. And the thing is...I'll be able to catch him. As many times as I want. And he will fall down like a tree.
Q - What can you improve on in the future? A - I am going to keep working on my striking. I am the best striker in the world. Nobody in MMA will stand with me. My strikes are only going to become more devastating. More powerful and more technique. I will also work on my defense. Avoiding grappling. As you can tell tonight, I am very good at defense.
Q - Who impressed you on the card tonight? A - I am not impressed by anyone on this card. Maybe Tyler Riggs. He had a dominant fight. Everyone else, I think I could crush in a minute.
Q - Were you happy you were able to get the finish? A - I have finished every fight so far. It is no surprise.
Q - Who would you like to fight next? A - De Groot.....I respect your skills. I respect you. But when our night comes, you are going to sleep. I will try to quiet the crowd when I sent you to sleep. I know they will roar because the knockout will be phenomenal. But I'm a nice guy, I want you to be able to sleep in peace. I will try to calm the crowd down. See, I'm a nice guy? Good luck my fellow Dutchman. I know you are a warrior. It pains me what I'm going to have to do to you. Because I know it's going to take years off your life. But I will do it, sorry about that.

I also want to say that Bimbo Slice and Templeton Crumb have horrible striking technique. These are good fighters but terrible strikers. I really hope for their sake they don't face me for a couple of years. Because it will take years to improve on their ugly striking games that is supposed to be their strength. Bimbo you have bad cardio and terrible accuracy. Templeton you have no finishing ability and all you do is backup. That fight did not deliver.
The North American Heavyweights show poor technique as well. All of them. It is okay though, their time will come. I know these guys run around thinking they are Gods. But I know in their minds they know they would stand zero chance. It must be a weird feeling, knowing there is someone out there capable of sending you to the cemetery.

More powerful and more technique. I will also work on my defense. Avoiding grappling. As you can tell tonight, I am very good at defense. Q - Can you comment again on the decision of the referee to stop the fight? What do you think of Verboom's take on the stoppage? A - Like I said, he is a very powerful fighter and I was undoubtably hurt. But I knew coming into this fight that if he landed strikes it would do some damage. As fighters we need to be given the benefit of the doubt and I just feel the ref did not do that. Many people watching the fight will have opinions on it and its okay if we agree to disagree. This is just an unfortunate part of the fight game.
Q - How do you see the matchup between Verboom and De Groot? You've obviously faced Verboom now, has this impacted your view on the tournament final? I respect the striking skills of Verboom especially when it comes to his power. But, he's "too fast" to be taken down? He knew that I would take him down so he worked on defence and it "worked to perfection"? He is "very good" at grappling defence? I am officially giving this guy the award for most delusional fighter in AFC. I took his ass down in 19 seconds. He better just hope that De Groot fails to capitalize on taking his ass down like I did or else we might witness the first murder ever in the AFC octagon.

Most delusional guy in the AFC is you my friend. First, you think the ref is stupid to stop you from all the damage that you took. I have to admit, you are soft. You crumbled early. I've faced much better opponents than yourself. Almost all of my opponents have lasted longer than you. And then you think that my grappling defense was not very good? You might have taken me down, but you did not keep me there. I know you lost a lot of brain cells my friend, but this is common knowledge. Anybody can see that in our fight, my grappling defense was as good as it could be. I immediately got up and the rest is history. I'm sure you haven't forgotten by now.
I wonder how much brain damage I gave you. Poor Russian.

You see the difference between me and all these niggas you're knocking out....I've got a mother fuckin chin. I can take your shots and come back with fire. I hit harder too.

I enjoy your fighting spirit, Bimbo. Who knows what the future holds, perhaps we can train together.
I see you as a future opponent however. I don't want things to get in the way of our fight.
