Vinc Pichel Says Fight Night 110 Win Is ‘The Best Thing In the World Right Now’

Vinc Pichel spoke with MMAjunkie following his win over Damien Brown at UFC Fight Night 110. Highlights are below:

On the impact of the win: “It’s the best thing in the world right now. I’ve been through so much in the past few years. I’ve been through injuries – things that were going to put me out in retirement. I went through a tough breakup with my fiancee a month before I was supposed to get married. I was having a lot of problems, mainly with my injuries and life. I just basically had to start life over. It was really hard for me. Recently, I just had a girlfriend who I had to break up with because she was cheating on me with some dude from church. I mean, I have just a steamroll ball of (expletive) coming at me over the last few years, and tonight was my payoff. That was my big reward. Back in the day, once I was pissed off, I would go break some (expletive) or (expletive) someone up. I’d get into a fight. I can’t do that now. I’ve got to be a professional and an adult now. So this, right here, was me getting to let that out. Getting to let that tension out. It couldn’t have felt better.”

On his skills as a fighter: “I’m so much better of a fighter that people don’t realize and don’t know. And I honestly haven’t showed it. I’m at the point of my life now and my fighting career where I’m not going to be so hardheaded. I’m a little older now. I’m a little wiser as far as fighting. I have more experience with it. And I’m going to showcase that. And people are going to be scared of me – of what I can do, what I’m capable of.”

On his next fight: “If Al Iaquinta is still in the UFC and doesn’t get cut from the bull(expletive) that he’s been pulling lately, I’m down to fight Al if he’s down. That’d be a good fight. There’s a New York card coming up in July (UFC on FOX 25, which takes place July 22 in Long Island), so I’ll fight him in his backyard.”
