UFC Quick Quote: Goran Reljic is going to show the doctors they were wrong at UFC 110

Relijic_gouveia_201_medium

"Doctors actually told me I'll never fight again, but I love to prove people wrong and now I'm back. I can't wait to step inside and fight again. I said to them, 'I'm going to show you who's not going to be capable of coming back to the sport. I'm going to show you that you're wrong.' I said (that) to them in their face. I told them I'm going to prove you wrong and that's what I did. Look where I am now. I'm coming back. I feel great. I have a heart. I never quit and I proved them all wrong. C.B. (Dollaway) is a great fighter. He's a great wrestler. He has solid stand-up skills as well. I just think we're going to put on a great show for the crowd and I hope everybody's going to see what they expect and everybody's going to be satisfied."

Undefeated Croatian fighter and real life superhero Goran Reljic (via Sherdog.com) anticipates his return to the Octagon at UFC 110 after nearly two years on the injured reserves. After knocking out Wilson Gouveia in his Zuffa debut in May 2008, the grappling phenom underwent surgery to repair a back injury sustained while training for his 185-pound fight against Thales Leites at UFC 90 later that year. It's been a long, hard road for Reljic -- but don't expect any sympathy from CB Dollaway, who looks to spoil the Croat's return in Sydney on Feb. 21.

hair lip is going out

Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.

So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

I REALLY hope he doesnt get humped like a Doberman the whole fight for a decision loss

Fan of Reljic and his style, and that he’d jump out of his bed and dive into the ocean to save people that crashed into the ocean off a cliff. He is the man.

I AM SOMETIMES BIASED - Get over it!!!!!!!

And I hate Upper Lip. I hope Goran shoves CB’s head in a bucket of ice water, then saves him just so he can knock him out.

I hope so...I was pleasently surprised they did that for 109...hopefully it'll be a regular thing although they might not do it overseas cause of the time zone issue

I thought they are doing it at like 2 PM local time. So it’s the same time as usual.

I made 10 grand on mmaplayground in 2 UFC shows so don't question me

Yeah, bunch of gaywad trolls taking advantage of the near universal no-ban policy here at Mania. Only exception I’m aware of was that troll who thought that Nazi clothing line wasn’t actually racist. And he may have just voluntarily not come back.

Hrvatska Hrvatska Hrvatska!!!!

Goran is the man! Hrvatska is the country, loves it!

Matteo Serra is the mayn! Forza Italia.

I really hope he is 100%

I expected big things from Goran after his debut. The guy is known as a grappler, but has a mean left kick and straight left from what I remember. If he is truly healthy, he should beat CB. Plus, who wouldn’t root for a real life hero? Remember, this is the guy who jumped into icy waters at like 2 in the morning to save two kids from drowning. Effing awesome story

i thought goan was a striker, im impressed he is well rounded and beat wilson. wilson has been hot and cold, but is really talented none the less. I think cb is focused and this should b a good one.

You can really tell how focused CB is by that look on his face.
