I find it odd that some of my colleagues and fans are stating that Lyoto Machida doesn’t deserve to be the #1 contender for the UFC’s light heavyweight title.

One of the people is Mauro Ranallo; I’ve never even met that human being before in my life. He makes derogatory comments about us. What’s funny is, you don’t have to like me, I don’t care and I don’t like you. At the same time, you cannot deprive the fact that the MFC is the largest show in the country by about a million miles."
