"I was a little upset with myself because, for over a decade being affiliated with guys in the UFC and any organisation for that matter, I try to be a good example for my fighters, for my kids and especially as a coach. Guys that I look up to like Renzo [Gracie] and Ricardo [Almeida] and Nick Catone, and outside of our thing, like Greg [Jackson] and Wink and Brandon Gibson, so many good guys, John Crouch. I don’t know one coach I don’t get along with." "I talked about a fighter when I shouldn’t have, and I really felt bad about it. I don’t think I have any business talking about a fighter.

Whatever he said… I deserve more than that."Henry only had complimentary things to say about the Notorious, praising his striking ability and the improvements he's made in his game. He also respects him for the good work he's done in helping to bring the sport further into the mainstream.
"I’ve got nothing but respect for Conor. He’s an amazing fighter, and besides my guys where I’m going to be biased, I think he’s the best striker in MMA. I think he’s gotten better in different areas, I have nothing but the utmost respect for him and just what’s he’s done in this sport. And not just in the sport, but personality wise."Pure class.
