"My loss to Dan Henderson at UFC 100 last July set me back a little bit, but it’s never caused me to doubt my ability or re-think my goals. I’ve always known – and my team have always known – that I possess the skills to climb the UFC ladder and reach a title shot. Now I just need to prove it. I know that Wanderlei will present an altogether tougher test on February 21st, but I’m determined to surprise a lot of people. While Kang is a very good fighter in his own right, Wanderlei is the next level for me. He’s at that Dan Henderson level, the level I need to prove myself at.

"The Count" insists his loss to Dan Henderson -- coupled by his come-from-behind win over Denis Kang -- has matured him as a fighter and prepared him to take his career to the next level. Can he stop "The Axe Murderer's" onslaught in Sydney?
