Henry Corrales spoke to reporters after his win at last night’s Bellator 214 in a post-fight press conference. Corrales defeated Aaron Pico by knockout for the fight card.Below are some highlights (h/t to MMAJunkie for transcript).

Corrales on the fight: “I put myself in some (expletive) situations and had to fight my way out of it. And that’s exactly what he did: He (expletive) dumped me and put me on my ass a little bit. I didn’t see it – he’s super quick. He just dropped me with a little flash hit. But I felt good. I got up, threw a couple shots, circled out, recomposed myself and got back after it. I was a little pissed.”

Henry Corrales on training at the MMA Lab with Benson Henderson: “It changed my life, moving out there with Benson Henderson and all those guys. It’s just a high-quality place with a bunch of good dudes. I would never try to excuse those losses, but there were reasons behind them. I’ve got my (expletive) together now and I’m ready to go after it. … Just the brotherhood – you just turn around and (Henderson is) standing right there. He’s got your back. That means everything – somebody who’s just there for you and leading by example, not someone who’s always just chirping in your ear and trying to be a dictator. This dude leads by example. His kids are at the gym all day, his wife is there teaching jiu-jitsu classes. The guy is just a high-quality man.”

Henry Corrales on not being worried about Aaron Pico: “I’m not even worried about that guy. He’s a stud. He’s got all the tools. He’s going to be fine for sure.”
