Speaking to reporters in a media scrum ahead of UFC Fight Night 128 (via MMAjunkie). LaFlare is set to face Alex Garcia for the fight card later today. Below are some highlights from the media scrum.

LaFlare on the training camp: “I had a great camp. I enjoyed every sparring session. I wanted to learn again, whereas I was just maintaining in the past. Now, I’m picking up new tricks, and you’re going to see a brand new Ryan LaFlare.”

LaFlare on why you need to have passion for the job: “You don’t want to look at this as a job and a way to make money. You have to be passionate about it. It’s a real fight; it’s not the WWE. If you’re in it for the wrong reasons, the wrong things can happen. Regardless of the outcome of my last fight, that’s the way I felt. I said, ‘Man, I’m getting a little burned out.’ It consumes my life sometimes, and I wanted to miss it and get better.”
