Quoteworthy:

"I think this is going to be a really exciting fight. Hopefully it's Fight of the Night or Ass Whooping of the Night. I'm looking to finish him as fast as I can...I've lost two in a row and if I lose another fight, the UFC will probably cut me so I'm trying to keep my job. It's rough times. It's a bad economy, so I gotta keep my damn job so I can keep living. I respect Loiseau, but on the 18th, I'm going in there to beat his ass."

Ed Herman — middleweight finalist on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 3 — talks about his upcoming fight with hometown favorite David Loiseau at UFC 97 from The Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on April 18. "Short Fuse" is looking to rebound from back-to-back losses and prevent himself from being a victim of a contractual "Spring Cleaning." That might not be so easy against "The Crow," who also is fighting to remain on the UFC roster. The former middleweight contender was invited back to the Octagon after putting together a solid 4-2 record outside of the promotion. Loser leaves town? Perhaps not if they can pull off fight of the night. What say you?
