Q: What’s up big Marcus?  What goes through your head when you’re standing across from the guy you’re fighting in the cage? Nervous, ‘am I gonna get knocked out?’ And did you and Wessel talk in the house after the fight?

Eric Rivera, Bakersfield, Calif.

A: Yes I’m nervous! I think every fighter gets nervous before a fight, unless you’re Fedor.  What I am thinking is, ‘I better crush him before he crushes me.’

Me and Wessel talked a little bit afterwords.  I just wanted to make sure he was alright after the fight.
