On His Nerves: "I wasn't really fighting Rolles Gracie," Beltran said. "I was fighting the event. I box way better than I did in that event. I had the jitters. (There's) no way he should have been able to hit me that cleanly. But it was like my feet were in concrete. It does affect you, the event and all the hype. I was freaking out a bit backstage," he joked. "I'm thinking to myself, 'What the hell is going on? I don't even have to do anything today.' But it's weird when you see all the fans and taste the crowd. I even had friends back home (who were watching the weigh-ins) saying I looked scared. It's just that (while) backstage, I felt like I was waiting forever."
On The Fight: "After that (escape), my confidence went through the roof," he said. "I have a good sense of what's going on in my fights. I could see he was breathing hard and lunging forward with shots. I knew it was just a matter of time before he went down."
What's Next For Him?: "Right now, I'm just waiting for Joe Silva to tell me what he wants me to do," Beltran said. "We'll go from there."
