“I, of course, will be there to watch these two gentlemen fight. I, of course, have told the UFC that if anyone gets injured or for any other reason no one can make it to the fight, because one of them might pull out, I am ready to go. If I have to, I will fight both of them on the same night, no problem,” he added.
