"I agree, this is the strangest of the strangest that I can think of," he told a throng of media at the "Scena," on the old port. "I’ve never went through this type of fight before. I felt like I had to fight to get here. And it was a really tough fight."

"I talked to Dana on the phone the other day," he said. "Dana’s cool. I think we all grew up. I had some problems with some stuff I felt like I was receiving, and [UFC CEO] Lorenzo [Fertitta] and I, we talked about it.

They got nothing going on for them over there."
