"I got to make my 24th walk to the Octagon and, as always, had the time of my life. I always go in there to win, no matter what, no matter what it takes. They threw a young, hungry kickboxer my way and we got to throw down on the biggest stage in the world. Much respect to my opponent and his team. Despite the odds being stacked against me I was happy to accept the challenge and am beyond grateful for my team behind me in preparation and during battle. I didn't get my hand raised but I did get to show the MMA community what Houston vets are all about."
"This war horse has some miles on him for damn sure. If this was my last ride, I'll go out with my head held high. In a perfect world, my next fight will be my last. The UFC has been my home for the last decade. No where I'd rather fight. Nowhere I'd rather retire. I'm confident and hopeful they'll give me one last dance. It's been a hell of a career. Genuine thank you for all of the support over the years. Stay tuned for what's next. Death or victory."
