"Both of us kind of have the same style - wrestling and boxing - and we're heavy handed. So, there's no real advantage anywhere. You just have to prepare for the fight. It's whoever's trained harder and I don't think anybody else has trained harder than me for this fight."

"This is the absolute best shape I've ever been in in my life. I've spent many, many days in the gym training in the gym for this fight. I think about it every day and every night.

KEVIN RANDLEMAN

"On June 6, there's absolutely no reason for me to lose - and there's no excuses - win or lose, there's no excuses. Period. I'm 100 percent healthy and I'm an animal again. So understand. The Monster's back."

MIKE WHITEHEAD

"Kevin talks a lot of trash. We've heard in Vegas, on the radio, him talking this and that. The guy was invited with his wife to my house for Christmas dinner this year so it's kind of funny that he's talking about me. But if that's what you guys need, it's cool. Just let him do the talking and I'll do the walking."

"We're both wrestlers, we've both got power in our hands. Look for fireworks. I'm ready for the fireworks too, so let's do it."

ROBBIE LAWLER

"I really don't have much to say, but I think it's going to be a good atmosphere here. St. Louis is a great sports town and I'd like to put on a good show."

"I train for everything and work on every skill so I'll be ready. Jake's a real good grappling opponent, but for every fight I'm working on all aspects so it's not that big of a deal."

"I wouldn't really compare myself to (Mike Tyson). I just like to go out there and finish people so that's what I try to do."

JAKE SHIELDS

"This is my first fight for Strikeforce. I'm excited to be a part of the main event. This is a phenomenal card. I can't wait to get out there and mix it up. Robbie always brings it and I'm coming to bring it so it's on."

"I feel great. It's a move up in weight, but I'm not really too concerned about it. Robbie's strong and big, but I'm not that small. I always cut weight to 170 so I actually get to eat and lift weights. I'm not going to be huge for the weight, but I don't feel that small either so I don't think it's going to be much of an issue."

"I don't have an exact strategy but, at some point, it would be better to go to the ground for me, but I'm not afraid to stand and bang either."

Also featured during the live telecast on June 6 will be a 180 pound catch weight matchup between superstars Nick Diaz (19-7) and Scott "Hands of Steel" Smith (16-5). Both fighters are coming off of outstanding victories on April 11. Diaz stopped four-time world champion Frank Shamrock in the second round of the main event and Smith scored a third round knockout on Benji "The Razor" Radach.
