On nickname:
"My old manager told the ring announcer (to introduce me as The Count). I said no at first, but I'm actually a Count in Poland (grandfather was a Polish Count). It embarrasses me a little bit. I made the mistake of telling someone at school and I was subsequently made fun of."
On Hamill:
"I believe the experience will give me an edge. I'm much more of a well-rounded martial artist. I trained with (Hamill) extensively. He's a good wrestler, but not much of an MMAer. And I think I've faced much better competition than him.... In lots of my fights I've knocked them out in the first round. That's my specialty. I have that killer instinct. Fingers crossed, hopefully I can do it again."
