My corner all came in and we're talking it up that we had it won and be smart, so I took him back down, ground and pounded him for a minute, took his back and he rolled and I lost my position. He ended up in my guard and I thought I had it won; I remember watching that clock tick down from three and a half minutes. I watched it tick down, thinking I had it won and that was the biggest mistake of my career right now.

That's the only fight I regret. That's the only time I would say I would change anything in a fight and I can't believe I did it. I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, that I thought I had something won. You haven't won until you have your hand raised and I kind of kick myself in the ass every time I think about it.

I want that rematch. I know I beat Damacio. Everyone's so scared of his power, but you got to hit me first and on top of that, if he doesn't, he's got to be able to defend a takedown. The way I fought him last time, I fought him very smart, I just didn't finish the fight, so that's how I feel.

Before getting around to some more insightful and investigative journalism-type questions, let's run through the Keyboard Kimura Questionnaire:

Favourite fighter?

All-time? Favorite fighter? That's hard to say. I look at a lot of guys. I'm very particular. People ask me my favorite football team and I say, "I don't have a favorite team, I have favorite players."

My favorite fighter has gotta be... this is tough... Wanderlei Silva. That guy is just fearless, I love it. He'll take that fight wherever it needs to go and it doesn't matter how tired he is, he keeps fighting.

Wanderlei, [Clay] Guida, those fighters that carry those characteristics that are in your face, non-stop, I don't care what you do I'm still coming type attitude; that's how I train and that's what I believe in.

Wanderlei is by far by my favorite fighter ever.

Best fight you've ever seen - live or otherwise?

My fight with Banuelos. (Laughs)

Nice - d'you know what's funny is that you're the first person I've interviewed who has said their own fight. I interviewed Sam Stout a couple weeks back and I full expected him to say one of his two wars with Spencer Fisher. Why wouldn't it be your favorite fight?

Yeah, that was my favorite fight man. I had more fun in that fight than I had in all of my others.

Honestly, just after I signed with the WEC I was supposed to replace Marcos Galvao to fight Brian Bowles in case he had problems with his Visa, and they flew me out and everything. I ended up not fighting, but we got into The Ultimate Fighter finale that weekend.

I can't remember what season it was, but it was the [Clay] Guida - Roger Huerta fight. I was sitting pretty much ringside, like two rows back, and that was probably the most memorable fight. I was just like, "Wow." It was pretty sweet.

Most Underrated Fighter and Most Overrated Fighter?

Most overrated? It's tough for me to say because everyone who steps in there I have respect for. Most overrated? That's hard to say.
