"I am the most underrated fighter out there. People don’t give me my due. There are a lot of guys out there with PHDs. That’s Player Hater Degrees. I am the world champion and I’ll just have to keep beating people until they have to give me the respect I deserve. Bottom line is I’m beating everyone they put in front of me."


Ricco Rodriguez

The rest of the interview is here

I like Ricco. He is the number 1 fighter in the cage at HW. In the ring, he is the only one that could beat Nog.

Good interview

Hahahaha..go Ricco...it's your birthday...

Thanks for the link man.

I also like Ricco, but I think a lot of people don't like him based on his image alone. Each to their own and all, but everyone should recognise he is a quality fighter and the man to beat in the UFC heavyweights right now

good interview. I like him. I think me and him could be buds.

Like Tito and Chuck?

lol naw.

i'd throw down with him if the belt was on the line. MY BELT!

lol, Ricco is a very cool person, I've talked with him before and he sent me an email a while back about his next fight.

He's definitely top 5 but not the best.

Nog, Fedor, Barnett, are in the same boat he is. I think Nog is the best. The other 3 are interchangable at this point.

Im a Ricco fan! He has yet to defend the title though, so I think he still has "props" to be earned.

Ricco is the man. As long as he feels like he isn't getting the props he deserves he will train that much harder to prove the playa haters wrong. motivation makes a man a mean fighter.

Ricco works hard at what he does....
the guy made me puke blood before he let me get a ****in drink of water.....
