After a month of being away from competition Cesar returns from training with Lyoto Machidas camp. Looks foward to icing the competition. Azevedo has this to say:
"I am a much smarter fighter as you can see from my first fights. Im more than a tough nosed hispanic kid with heavy hands now, AKA has brought in top BJJ, Muay Thai, and Wrestling experts. In the past months Ive been training with the Machida's I learned their style and implemented it into my growing gameplans. I am not perfect but Cesar Azevedo is very close to being there(3rd person intended). Stand up with me get dropped, try taking me down good luck, take me down? try keeping me there, been there done that. I dont need a fancy camp up in canada a bunch of maple syrup chumps couldnt reach my sucsess with a helicopter."

On title defence against undefeated Crawford. 'via Twitter' June 8, 2011
"Crawford is a bigger more athletic fighter. He has heavy hands and is the fan favorite. Lets see what I'll do to him Saturday. Gonna walk this big hellboy threw 15 minutes of ass wooping. Expect it to a stand up war because I've been taken down twice in my Bushido career, Craw... if you read this please note I know this good plastic surgeon in The Big Apple. A Champion is not a thriller, not a showman, but someone who can win the fight."
