“Oh my God, that was a fight. Oh my God, Colby, man. Not bad [for any training camp]. Your kicks were perfect tonight, he hit you with his best shots. Those were big shots, it was hard for everyone to see because you just took them. Even us in the corner were saying, ‘Oh, that must hurt, oh, I guess it didn’t hurt, he’s still going forward.’ Your takedowns, you even got your head stuck in the middle, but you were fighting your way out and you were able to lock your hands. It was great, everything was going great. The tide was turning, that doesn’t count. I don’t accept that, no way, man. It was a great fight and you fought really hard,” Sonnen said. (see video below)
