"I think that it is excellent fight for me. Style of conducting fight is most important, and from the point of view of style Shields ideally suits me. I think, in whatever area I passed this duel, the victory will be for me.

He says that can knock out me, but I won't remember something that it in the life knocked out though someone from serious guys. I doubt that it sometime managed to shake the opponent by blow. He strangled many a guillotine or suffocating from a back, but he isn't capable to cause a big loss in the blows.

It is a big call for me, it is very titled opponent. He was the champion of Strikeforce, EliteXC and Shooto, and has many loud victories in the record. I am not going to underestimate it, and I am going to meet the opponent, whose fight is in orchestra seats at the highest level.

I think, those guys who didn't perceive Shields seriously, like Dan Henderson and Robbie Loler, were very surprised as far as it can be persistent in fight and is aggressive when carrying out тейкдаунов. I respect Shields and I do justice to his abilities, but strongly intends to come out from a cage the winner this evening.

The duel with Shields is convenient for me to that in this fight I will have a set of ways to win, and at it only one. You for certain know that he says that he is higher than me level as the fighter and is much more skilled in fight.

It can be better than me in fight and, for certain, it is better than me in swimming, but, fortunately, we should compete not in the pool. I am not going to be got involved with it in game by ju-jitsu rules. 

If he thinks that he will manage to tumble down simply me, having passed through my uppercuts, blows elbows and knees, having spat on my force and speed, that, probably, he knows something that not known by me.

I simply plan to knock on it, as on a drum within fifteen minutes if it doesn't break earlier. I don't think that it will be given me easily, it will constantly press on me and to try to press to a cage. He very cunning, I noticed many curious moments in its style when looked records of its fights.

If Shields hopes simply to rise opposite to me and to knock out one of the blows, most likely, it should be upset this evening. It will do that from it expect, and my task will be to stop it and to punish for each attempt to tumble down me on the earth.

Even if he trained in Thailand twenty four hours per day, it for certain will be the same Shields, as in the last five fights. So, I plan to upset him. He will try to pass in feet, but I won't allow it it to make and I will finish a duel at once as soon as I will be given such opportunity.

Here and all my plan for fight. I knock out Shields in a rack, or I will win each round", - declared to Vudli.
