“I would love to get back in here soon. I’ve said his name before. I’ve got a lot of respect for the guy. He’s a family guy. He’s a great fighter: Aiemann Zahabi. He’s on a four-fight win streak in the UFC. I was really impressed by his last fight against (Javid) Basharat. I think that’d be a great fight. We’ve been both kind of coming up together – four-fight win streak, that’s big. I’m on a three-fight win streak. Even though they say two, it’s really three.
“I think that’d be a great fight, or Ricky Simon. He’s No. 15. I think I’m about ready to get my number. So either one of those guys, or anybody else. Sean Shelby does a great job, so we’ll see.”
