"I'll win the Olympics in 2012," Warren told Ranallo. "We'll win this fight here this coming Thursday, then the 25th [DREAM.16], and then hopefully we get the DREAM belt on New Year's. I'll defend my titles the first few months of next year, and then retire from fighting, go into the Olympics and then come back after it."

UFC's TwitterI'm a jiu-jitsu world champion and I'm saying these things (about changes in judging criteria)... I don't think people should get grappling points for a takedown or mounting someone or getting their back. Who cares if I mount someone or have their back for four minutes if he gets out or I didn't do anything to him? It's the Ultimate Fighting Championship, not the Ultimate Grappling Championship... What happens when people fight? Someone gets hurt. You have fights now where nobody gets hurt and it's like what the hell are we watching? And these coaches, because there's money involved, convince these fighters to compete this way and it's crazy. That's another reason why I'm so pumped to get in there. I just want to show everybody what a fight looks like.
BJ Penn Discusses the 10-Point Must System with SherdogI don't know if he's ever really lost his step. I just think the fighters now in the UFC are just a little bit more aggressive than the fighters in PRIDE. Studying game on him, I noticed that guys that back away from him and give him that respect, it seems like they get unleashed on a little harder than the guys that come forward... I think Cro Cop has a good sprawl, he has a good double underhooks. I think if I were to try to just drop and shoot on him, he would stop my shot. I think standing up with him is actually the route to go at first and then eventually when you work in the clinch, going to the ground is obviously a lot easier to do with him than Nogueira.
