- Gustafsson said that the first fight was very good, but unfortunately the side judges gave the victory to Jones, so he trained hard to finish the fight before the 5 rounds.

- Overeem said this may be your last chance to fight for the belt, and then need to beat Gonzaga.

- Gonzaga did praise on the strength of Overeem, but said he can not take a lot of pressure so obviously he will press since the beginning of the fight.
