Who wants boring fighters who dont say anything before a fight. Fighters do that for us the fans, to hype the match, get us to watch their fight. This was Paulie's chance to become a big name and he knew he had o make a noise. He didnt go over the top there was no "im gonna send you to see your dead mother" crap that you hear from Mayorga (hides from the imminent flaming from Hulk). Paulie was in there with a great fighter, not a good fighter, a great fighter and gave a great account of himself, never giving up when so many would have. He desrves respect for that.
