Q: Per a Benson... Hi ha alguna motivació addicional per demostrar-te en aquesta lluita després de la manera com va acabar l'última lluita??

Benson Henderson: Jo diria que no hi ha molta motivació extra en aquesta lluita. Sóc una persona força automotivada. Vull guanyar totes les meves baralles. No necessito cap incentiu addicional. Vull tenir la mà aixecada en cada lluita.

Q: Aquesta és la teva segona lluita pel títol a Bellator. Hi ha alguna cosa que hagis après de la primera volta que estàs aportant a aquesta lluita?

Benson Henderson: No sé si hi ha alguna cosa que he après de l'última lluita pel títol, només estar més còmode dins de la gàbia del Bellator i acostumar-me a la sortida i trobar el meu ritme.

Q: Ara estàs lluitant pel títol. Et consideres un pes lleuger?? És aquí on teniu la intenció de quedar-vos o és possible un altre viatge al pes welter en el futur?

Benson Henderson: No diria que em considero un pes lleuger necessàriament. Per a mi, que és 155 lliura. o 170 lliures., allà on siguin els enfrontaments més interessants i divertits. Però, primer les coses primer, M'he de fer càrrec dels negocis en dissabte nit.

Q: Has mencionat baralles divertides i interessants. El títol també és una cosa en què penses? La història de la setmana és un campió de dues divisions a l'altra promoció. És un somni que tens per a tu a la teva carrera o només vols quedar-te i ser el campió de pes lleuger més dominat que puguis ser??

Benson Henderson: Vaig a buscar aquest cinturó a 155 lliures., però després d'això no diria que els cinturons ofereixen molts incentius addicionals. Òbviament, els cinturons són fantàstics i el significat darrere del cinturó és que ets el millor del planeta i això significa molt dir que ets el millor en aquesta classe de pes., però no lluito necessàriament només pel cinturó. Vols el cinturó, però ara mateix només em concentro d'aquí quatre dies i un home anomenat Michael Chandler.

Q: Per a Michael... Alguna vegada has pensat a provar un altre cinturó?? Sé que és aviat en el teu regnat del títol, però això t'ha passat mai pel cap? I, si vas a buscar un altre cinturó, seria per a pes welter o ploma?

Michael Chandler: No hi he pensat gaire. Per a mi, Només estic buscant la lluita més gran que puc aconseguir. Sé que no hi ha manera de fer-ho 145 lliures., ja que passo aproximadament 190 lliures., entre baralles. Així, No m'interessa perdre la massa muscular que he treballat tant per construir. Si alguna cosa, Saltaria a 170 lliures., però ara mateix estic centrat en la meva lluita aquest dissabte nit i estic emocionat de sortir i actuar.

Q: Per què Henderson és un oponent important per a la teva carrera??

Michael Chandler: Cada rival és important. Cada vegada que barallem, ens posem, el nostre mitjà de vida, els nostres registres, i la nostra reputació a la línia. Només em passa així, Tinc l'oportunitat de lluitar contra un noi que ha estat campió i ha fet grans coses en aquest esport. Però per sort, és el moment adequat per a mi i el moment equivocat per a ell. Estic molt emocionat de sortir allà i fer una declaració amb aquesta lluita en dissabte nit. Definitivament és un gran, oponent voluntari, però em fa il·lusió sortir-hi i aconseguir el final.

Q: Per MVP... Òbviament, ha estat un any fantàstic per a tu a Bellator, sobretot la teva actuació a Londres. Tens el dit al pols de la cultura pop ara mateix i hi ha alguna cosa que t'estiguis inspirant i que vulguis utilitzar en algun factor d'entreteniment a la nit de lluita??

MVP: Sí, Sempre sóc conscient socialment, però primer he de fer la feina i això és el més important.

Q: De moment, lluitar en diverses classes de pes i lluitar en diverses divisions sembla estar de moda en aquest moment i sé que en el passat has esmentat la possibilitat de baixar a 155 lliures., és una cosa que encara us interessa?

MVP: De moment, no. Ara, Només estic centrat a lluitar a la divisió de pes welter.

Q: Si pots anotar una victòria sobre Fernando González, quantes baralles més i quantes victòries més creus abans d'estar a la foto del títol i lluitar per una oportunitat per al títol?

MVP: Aquesta no és realment la meva principal preocupació. Només surto i m'entretenc i ho seguiré fent fins que acabi a la posició en la qual hauria d'estar.

Q: Per a Michael Chandler... Amb tu observant Benson des de lluny durant molt de temps, què pensaves d'ell a mesura que avançava la seva carrera??

Michael Chandler: Benson ha tingut una carrera fenomenal. De tornada en el dia, ell era el campió de la UFC i jo el de Bellator. Ell va ser el número u i jo vaig ser el número tres del món i sempre va ser aquest enfrontament "i si". Què passaria si aquests dos nois poguessin lluitar... i ara finalment ho veiem. Ha continuat impressionant. Ha continuat guanyant. No es poden tenir grans carreres i grans llegats sense grans oponents. Miro Benson Henderson exactament així, però seré maleït si entro a aquesta gàbia en dissabte nit i perdre aquest cinturó. M'he entrenat la cua, He passat per algunes de les dificultats més dures que pot passar qualsevol en aquest esport... perdre tres baralles seguides, tornant, i creure que sigui el que passi, el meu proper gran avenç és a la volta de la cantonada. No he pensat mai en deixar-ho, on crec que hi hauria molta gent en aquesta situació. On he estat i on sóc ara, Estic confiat i estic emocionat de sortir i posar-ho tot en joc contra un dels millors del món i un dels noms més importants de l'esport.. Aquesta és una gran oportunitat a Spike TV, en viu i gratis.

Q: Per a Fernando... pregunta sobre els paquets de vídeo que Michael Page ha produït i llançat aquest any, més recentment durant Halloween. Els heu vist i quina va ser la vostra reacció davant els paquets de vídeo?

Fernando González: Vaig mirar els dos vídeos i vaig pensar que era una mica divertit, sobretot l'últim. Una mala elecció de productes alimentaris suposo. Bàsicament està menjant pilotes i bevent llet, mentre tapeu i assaboreu el gust. Així, No sé si hauria de prendre això com una crida, però crec que només amb la victòria em serà suficient.

Q: Amb Michael (Pàgina) a la línia ara mateix, Fernando té algun missatge per a ell abans de la baralla??

Fernando González: És el mateix missatge que vaig donar abans. Només apareix. Respecto el lluitador, però després d'això em felicitarà i em donarà les gràcies per fer-lo un millor lluitador. És dur, però no s'ha fet la prova i li donaré la primera derrota.

Q: Miquel, tens una resposta a això??

MVP: Sóc al·lèrgic a la merda, així que no té sentit respondre.

Q: Per a Benson Henderson... A la lluita per l'eliminació del títol a Anaheim, vas tenir un comportament tranquil i deliberat durant tota aquella baralla i abans que poguéssim veure't explotar, Pitbull es va emportar amb una lesió. Vas a intentar marcar un ritme més ràpid amb Chandler, o anem a veure una resposta més mesurada?

Benson Henderson: Veurem com es juga. És difícil dictar i dir exactament què faré. Si jo fos entrenador de la NFL, Jo no seria d'aquells entrenadors que té el primer 15 jugades del joc amb guió i sense importar el que passi, ens atenem a aquests 15 juga. Per a mi, He de sentir-ho i seguir el corrent. Però, per a mi no crec que sigui una lluita lent. Espero que aquest sigui un dels de més ritme, baralles plenes d'acció que has vist a la gàbia de Bellator.
