Here’s what players had to say Thursday at the Brewery X Biergarten Patio at Honda Center:

NATE DIAZ

“I came here to give myself a break and do my thing. I hope you all watch!

“I feel like I’ve had enough of this (all this). I’m ready to fight. I’m ready for the show to continue.

He better hope to get a knockout. If not, something (damaged) him.”

JORGE MASVIDAL

“I’m ready to get out there on July 6, take care of business, knock this (guy) out and relax with my family. Let’s get to it!

“In the end, all that matters is that I’m in shape and, as I said before, it’s not up to the judges. And not because of a cut or anything, but because of a immaculate KO. That’s why I train.

“I have more time to hone my craft, become smarter at boxing and work every day to become a little better, smarter and more effective. All this just means more violence on July 6. On July 4th, come celebrate the United States’ birthday, and on July 6th, come and see how I end it.

“I’m mean. I’m faster. I’m more temperamental. When it comes down to it, I think I have the best hands in MMA. On July 6, I will be able to prove it. No questions, nothing. We’ll see. There’s no jiu-jitsu (that sort of thing), no hugging, just straight hands.

DANIEL JACOBS

“I’m just content to be a part of this card with so many heroes and so many rising future stars. It’s an honor and a privilege. Come to fight night and see why this is such an critical card.

“I’m fighting guys like Shane Mosley Jr., who is an up-and-coming guy and a very talented guy. I can’t wait to show you, with all my experience, why they call me “Wonder Man.” I took a break for two years and now I have taken the time to get my mind, body and spirit back intact. You’ll see the results on fight night. I appreciate all the love, but you will see the return of the Miracle Man.

“I knew I wanted to end my career with a bang. This marks the next step towards earning a Hall of Fame plaque.

“I have been a fan of Shane Mosely Sr. my entire career. I saw his son fight, but when you talk about levels and what I bring to the table, obviously I see myself as the winner in whatever way and however that victory comes. It will be an honor to step into the ring with the son of a legend, but he will stop there because he is not his dad.

“I know exactly what I did and what works. I know what my team is working on… I just want to say that I can’t wait for July 6th and the West Coast is sure to be eventful!”

SHANE MOSLEY JR.

“Like everyone said, it’s going to be an amazing gala and an amazing evening. Please don’t miss this. I’m blessed to be able to fight a legend on this card. This man is a two-time middleweight champion. Most people can’t become champion, and he became champion twice. I’m excited to be a part of this event.

“He is definitely the best fighter I have ever fought in the ring. Nothing but respect. I need to raise my game. I have to be better. To get better, you have to put yourself in these situations. Adversity shows a person to himself, so that’s what I do and this is my chance.

“Whatever happens, it will make me better. My goal is also to become a legend. If that’s my goal, I need to get there with another legend. So when they said you could fight Daniel Jacobs, I said, ‘Wow, yes!’ Absolutely, of course.”

AMADO VARGAS

“I practiced like hell. My dad is putting me through stringent training and I can’t wait. You’ll see the improvement from the beginning of my career to where I am now, and I can’t wait. Watch July 6 on Fanmio PPV. Let’s go!

“I’m a competitor. He is a competitor. He wants to win. I want to win. In the end, there can only be one winner and that will be me. I trained really demanding and I’m sure I’m giving my all. As I said, you will see a different me, more skillful and timely. I just can’t wait. My dads give me great sparring and I’m ready for this fight.

“Any man who puts on a pair of boxing gloves has a chance. So I’m preparing as if I were going to fight Mike Tyson. After all, I have to be well prepared. My father and my team take care of that. I’m going to put on one hell of a show on July 6th. Thank you to the fans and everyone who is here. Watch me go 11-0!”

DEVIN CUSHING

“I’m ready to put on a show. I’ll kick his ass on July 6th. All this talk, you won’t do anything. I know not everyone knows my name, but come July 6 and I promise you won’t forget it. Devin Cushing, remember this because I’m coming to steal the show.

“Three grand and a soda, that’s what he gets. I’ll kick his ass. I’m going to beat him up. I’m going to drown him. I’m going to knock him out.”

MANUEL CORREA

“This is a huge opportunity for me. I’m ready to get up and do what I do for my hometown. I hear him say a lot of crazy things, but you have to stick to it. You have to show it to us. We’ll see. He hasn’t fought anyone yet. He fought a bunch of bums and he feels like himself. But you saw who I fought. I’ve fought Olympians with less than 10 fights under my belt. That’s why I’m not afraid to fight anyone. I’ve been like this all my life, and now he’s going to find out the demanding way.

“Everything was fine there. He was being genial and then he came here trying to be in front of the cameras. You know how they play, but we’ll show him.

“Fans can expect fireworks. I always come forward. If you look at any of my fights, I push for action no matter what. Win or lose, I’m moving forward.”

CHRIS AVILA

“I’m here and I’m doing my thing now. I intend to keep the good streak going and keep jumping. I’m training demanding and I’m here to represent the team and raise my hand.

“I know he’s playing, but I’m playing too. I really box and have been boxing for a while. So I train for real and I train boxing. I’m going to knock this fool out too.

ANTHONY PETTIS

“It’s a great opportunity on this card with all these fighters, some of the legends I grew up with. California, I know you are here and supporting us. Chris, I appreciate you taking this fight, we will have a good fight.

“I have sparred with the best boxers in the world to prepare for my MMA championship fights and it shows. My first fight was against Roy Jones Jr., so I couldn’t just go out and knock him out. He’s a much bigger guy than me. Avila is more my size so I can go out there and knock him out and that’s what we train for.

“I think this extra month gave me more motivation. We’re both ready to go. We were ready to go last weekend. So this extra month just adds more motivation to get a knockout on both ends. So count on a good fight from both of us.”
