QUESTION: Robbie, do you look at this as unfinished business. After the first fight, what were you thinking?

Robbie Lawler: Really I haven't thought about that fight for a long time. I've just been focusing on the future. But at the time I just thought, oh, (crap), they're going to end it right now. For some reason, I just knew the way the doctors were acting that they wanted to stop it because of a cut on my head that wasn't even dripping. And I was like, you're not stopping this. So, as soon as the doctor came in, I don't know, I just didn't think it was going to last.

QUESTION: In looking at the cards at the time, there were two even and I think you were slightly ahead on one. Do you feel that was the way it went?

Robbie Lawler: Really, I'm not focusing on that anymore. I'm focusing on this next fight. And I don't care how that last one went. I just need to go out there and get the job done on Saturday.

QUESTION: Scott's been quoted as saying he made a lot of mistakes and he can certainly improve on things. Do you feel like you can improve or will what you brought last time get the job done?

Robbie Lawler: There's always room to improve. So every day I'm trying to improve. Every day I'm trying to get better. And I believe every mixed martial artist is trying to do the same. And, yeah, I needed to improve and I think I can change some things.

QUESTION: Robbie, do you notice after fighting on CBS you get a different reaction; is there more response from people than your previous fights?

Robbie Lawler: I don't really do much except for training and hang out at home.

QUESTION: But you go into the local store and somebody goes, hey, I saw you on CBS?

Robbie Lawler: Yeah, a little bit. But I don't go out that much.

QUESTION: Scott, have you taken some steps to make yourself better for this one?

Scott Smith: Definitely. I started fighting full time about two years ago. And ever since then I've improved every day and every fight as a fighter. And I made some big mistakes in that fight. Obviously in the first round of the last fight Robbie kicked my butt. And I felt throughout the fight I improved a little bit. And I'm just trying to keep that going and be ready for Saturday night as a different better fighter.

QUESTION: Scott, not only are you bringing your A game but you're bringing some folks with you, a little closer to home, right?
