Ben Saunders

"I like both, but Chuck is looking so in shape and prepared. I see him getting the KO." - Ben on Chuck-Rich.
"Rashad may get the win with a judges’ decision by takedowns and ground control, but if he can’t, Quinton is gonna get the KO or dominate standing. But they’re both great fighters and anything can happen in this sport." - Ben on the Rampage-Rashad fight.
"Man, this is one fight I can't pick because I am a really big fan of both. Vera's age and experience gives him the advantage in my opinion, but in this crazy game, anything can happen. I just know it's gonna be FIREWORKS start to finish, probably with Jones keeping the pressure." - Ben on the Vera-Jones fight.
"I consider him a fighter just like the rest of us." - Ben Saunders on Bowman.
"I told Matt Serra, you know, 'Put me in, coach, put me in.' " - Ben on getting picked for the sixth prelim against Dan Barrera.
"I get to go to war with somebody and it gets me really really excited." - Ben.
"Your horse, your dog and your woman-- I'll take care of them." - Ben on Dan Barrera, giggling.
"I was actually smiling and laughing about it, as I'm shooting blood out of my nose." - Ben on getting knocked down by an overhand right early in the first round that also bloodied his nose.
"We gave Dana a show, huh?" - Ben to Dan before the decision was announced.
"You didn't wake me up, bro." - Ben to George.
"We all just think he's a dick." - Ben on George.
"I'm a huge fan of both and I love Couture, but I feel for Coleman's situation much more, so I hope he wins. I also hope it’s a badass war that both come out of uninjured. I also say Coleman needs to reclaim his career calling as the original "The Hammer" from Hammer House. Why change it? I hope it’s not because Matt Hamill stole it." - Ben on the Couture-Coleman fight.
"This is the first time that I've fought sick, so it should be very interesting." - A flu-afflicted Saunders before his quarterfinal with Speer.
"I'm looking to knock him out in the first round." - Saunders on the Speer fight.
"My advice to Tommy is 'guard that nose' *giggles*, because I ain't gonna lie, I'm looking to split it open." - Saunders before the Speer fight.
"My body was just like 'fuck you dude, I know what you want to happen but it's not going to happen.'" - Saunders on the decision loss to Speer.
