"It's too soon to talk about a title shot now. This is the time to restart. It doesn't matter what's my number in the rankings, I need to restart, analyze what I'm doing, my training and properly get ready for my next camp. That's my goal now. I can't stop to think. Every fight is a new story, a new training camp. Everything I've won so far won't matter and the same goes for everything I've lost."

As for who he would like to face in this new stage of his career, there already is one name in his mind: Michael Bisping.

"I think he's a great fighter. He comes from some wins. I'd like to test my style against his. I have nothing personal against him. I'm a professional and I believe he has that professional behavior, too. I want to show my work and see how my game fits his. He's been in the UFC for a long time and always among the top guys. It would be interesting to fight him."
