"It's a Chinese flag and it's got my profile on one side and it says, `Putting the Chin in China.' I gave them out to all my friends and family that came to Vegas. I had by far the rowdiest crowd at the whole tournament. They actually banned anyone wearing a `Chin in China' shirt from buying alcohol because they were that rowdy."

Thank goodness I didn't get one of those shirts!

This is the quote I liked:

Hopefully, I'll get a sponsorship or two, maybe get some money out of having stupid, curly hair

I wanna know what the obvious flaws in Saitiev's technique are (see interview).
