Rousimar Palhares: "Ivanov got choked in his last fight, this time he will lose by submission too. A leg lock, I guess”.
"I wouldn't hurt anybody; hater talk is nothing but bullcrap. I just wait for the ref to stop the fight. I have been in situations when I thought my op tapped, I let go, and then they said they did not tap so now I wait for the ref. That is why many dudes are hurt. Don't blame me; the rules of the game. If you are afraid of pain, don't face me in the cage. Alexei Ivanov is tough, world sambo champ. I'm glad he is not scared to fight me. He is rangy. I am going to pick him apart and I doubt he will survive my strength. Ivanov got choked in his last fight, this time he will lose by submission too. A leg lock, I guess".
