“The size of the fighters is so different now. Just a couple of years ago, I had no problem [facing far bigger men]. But as this sport gets bigger and more popular, guys are adapting. Guys who were middleweights before are going to welterweight. Light heavyweights are going to middleweight…. It happens all the time in wrestling. It does in boxing, too. The technique of the fighters is so good now you have to be at the right weight to give yourself the most [opportunity] to win. You can’t just always go against guys so much bigger now, because we’re in a new moment of MMA. The fighters are not only bigger, they’re stronger and they have better technique…. You get hit here [your chin] and you will get knocked out with as good as these fighters are today…. Seeing Jackson there will make me more hungry to beat Bisping. Maybe I’ll beat the one and then after, the other…
