Roland Delorme: I feel great. I've been a fan since the first UFC. This has just been a surreal experience. I wanted to get the submission. I feel I could have looked better. I'll fight anyone anywhere even my friends.
John Albert:I felt very comfortable out there. Winning was the best feeling in the world. I came in expecting a war. I'm down to fight anyone, anytime.
Steven Siler: Being in the UFC is a great feeling. I feel like I put on a good show. I probably could have finished the fight a few times but I'm happy with win. I'm going to take a few weeks off and come back better than ever.
Marcus Brimage:I feel real good. I'm very grateful for this opportunity. Its been such a crazy experience. Its better than sex.
Johnny Bedford: Right now I feel fantastic. I've got my 1st official UFC win. It's been a long long road getting here. It's all paying off now, I'm just ecstatic. I finally get to make this a real career for myself and my family and make some real money for once. I'm just on Cloud 9 right now. I've love to get my rematch with Dodson.
