I took this straight out of the UG
"Rickson was just on a Japanese news program called News 23 on TBS television. It's a news program which is broadcast at 11:00 PM here in Japan. This program is on a different station from those which broadcast PRIDE and Coliseum. Not much that he said was something that we haven't all heard before, the samurai stuff, etc., but there were a few things of note on the program. When asked what he thought the strongest martial art is, he paused for a little while, and answered, "Judo." When asked if he thought he was the best, he clearly answered, "No." The highlight of the interview occurred when a phone call message was sent from Sakuraba, who was apparently watching the news program from a Japanese baseball player's (friend's) residence. Sakuraba said (very loosely) "You can't keep running. When are you going to answer my challenge." Rickson didn't really change his demeanor, but he smiled and only gave a cookie cutter type reply. Something to the extent of, "I hope it will happen."
