Alan Belcher

“The difference for me here tonight is just experience, I mean, that’s 10 fights in the UFC and in my very first one… you know, I mean I’ve been training martial arts all my life but you know I’m still kind of getting at the end of my amateur career if you look at most fighting sports, guys have 100 fights or something you know. I had only a handful of boxing, kickboxing, amateur MMA, and then a few pro fights and I’m straight in the UFC at age 21, 22, and then you know I had to grow up in the UFC and every time I get a little bit more comfortable. Tonight, I think I could have performed a little bit better, not in got in such a slugging match with him, but I just wanted to knock him out so bad in front of my home crowd you know, I just wanted to knock him out in the first round.” - Alan Belcher talking about his fight with Wilson Gouveia.
"I can’t go against Fedor. [It] should be a good fight, but Fedor will get the submission in the end." - Alan on the Fedor-Arlovski title fight.
