"Well, I’m going for Mark because he’s my friend. And on top of that, unless Shogun shows me some improvement from his last fight and just comes out on fire, I just see a big size difference and the ability to slow the action for Mark. The cage is (going to be) his advantage." - Joe on the second Shogun-Coleman fight.
"I like Rashad. I just think that he'll be able to use his wrestling to dictate the pace of the fight. I think Machida is very good, very talented, but they are both very similar in their counterstriking ways. I think that you'll see a more crisp Rashad landing strikes on the feet and definitely more sound takedowns. From the ground, I don't see Machida submitting Rashad. Maybe he'll try to pull kimuras, but [he'll] pretty much just be taking blow after blow from his back." - Joe on the Rashad-Machida fight.
