Jacob Volkmann (Pictured), on “The Savage Dog Show,” discussing the publicity that calling out President Obama has generated:

“It was needed. After that Antonio McKee fight, I felt pretty bad about how I performed because it was such a boring fight. I actually was planning on calling [Obama] out for about two months. I just didn’t know how I’d do it, but I think it played out perfectly, the way I wanted it to come out. Got a lot of press on it and took the focus off the boring fight.”
