sounds like he did say it but was told do backtrack by his management due to negative backlash or the quote was taken out of context.
If he is trying to not put on exiting fights, huge fail.
:)
Kirik -
How about - Iaquinta aims to dominate not win performance bonuses? Does that more accurately capture it?
I approve of this more accurate thread title.
You're a G Al! Always exciting fights, all the way thru your amateur career to now. If a fight was ever "boring", it was the other fighters fault. Dominant fighting is exciting to me, I love me a clear winner.
They said something similar at weighins. Don't want fight of the night with joe lau. I took it as he wanted a grinding decision.
I guess he meant they want it as one sided and not shoot out. I can see how this was misunderstood. 
I-A-QUIN-TA!!!!
Good luck tonight, Al. Love you buddy!!!

Where I come from people like you get slapped
Where are you from?
209
LOLOL I was going to ask if it was the 209, yo.
Seems like Al needs to take this up w Junkie, not the UG. This is going to be a great fight 
NYC Noiccccceeeeeeeeee
does no one that works on the UG blog understand context? it's such a poor reflection of what you're trying to do when such a large number of blogs are poorly written and inaccurate.
find anyone who's worked in journalism or taken english 101.
Lol at Kirik debating with Al on this.
Can we up the original content from this site and not lean so heavily on copy paste jobs? It's cringe worthy to have retorts like "that's exactly what the said on the site we go to for our news".
I'll say I was happy to see the UG exclusive interviews a few fights back (with the Burt Watson intro)....lets get more of that and less of....well, this.
so you can't use a person's own words in the right order if you quote him now? that's crazy talk.
I approve of the original title Kirik.
I LOVE DIAZ (no homo) - so you can't use a person's own words in the right order if you quote him now? that's crazy talk.I Love Diaz says you can't use a person's own words in the right order.
I approve of the original title Kirik.
Hey, it works!
Kirik -Sorry kirik I wasn't saying you intentionally made a misleading thread, I was just clarifying what op posted to the other poster.Huey freman -elbrian - What?He's saying he does want to put on exciting fights even though the UG blog made a thread saying he didn't.
Seemed pretty straight forward to me.
Here is the link
Here are the quotes:
“That’s not what I’m trying to do,” Iaquinta told MMAjunkie. “I’m not trying to put on exciting fights, I’m trying to put on dominant performances and shoot my way up to the top.”
“(I’ll be) sticking and moving, using good footwork and it’ll be just like all my other fights,” Iaquinta said. “I’ll do whatever it takes to win."
It seemed pretty straight forward to me, too. I sure have been wrong before though, and would appreciate clarification.
You're a fucking dick kirik
you own this site and that Is how you talk to fighters?
WAR AL
bjjkwong - You're a fucking dick kirikThat might cost ya, brother. No need to use such strong language.
you own this site and that Is how you talk to fighters?
WAR AL
The Mitch Mitchell Experience - Even if that was an exact quote, why the fuck would you put that as the headline? It's obviously not his intention to put on a boring fight. Doesn't "I want to put on a dominant performance" seem like a better headline? It's every bit as direct a quote as what you chose for the headline and clearly is the message he was trying to get across.
This place is like the National Enquirer of MMA media.
all of what you say is true, and that would be a much better title.
Good to see the blog called out.
Inspector Lunge -Elias Cepeda - Seems like Al needs to take this up w Junkie, not the UG. This is going to be a great fight
Lol, wut?
MMAJunkie's article title:
"Al Iaquinta wants to dominate, not entertain vs. Joe Lauzon at UFC 183"
the UG News title:
"Iaquinta: I'm not trying to put on exciting fights"
Not only that but whoever wrote that blogpiece also added this at the end.
" There is now greater pressure on Iaquinta to win. If he wins, he wins, and moves up the ladder. But if he loses, having publicly said he is not trying to throw down for the crowds, the fall is quite a bit farther."
Morpheus1976 -Kirik -
It is a verbatim quote from Junkie
“That’s not what I’m trying to do,” Iaquinta told MMAjunkie. “I’m not trying to put on exciting fights, I’m trying to put on dominant performances and shoot my way up to the top.”
I have made mistakes before and so of course am open to corrections, so if you could explain a little more about your thought process, I would be grateful.
so the news is just copied, from other sources?
