“I love it,” said Pyle, who on Saturday faces up-and-coming British welterweight John Hathaway at UFC 120 in London. “I love that none of the fans are going to like me. That’s great. But I’m telling you, by the time I’m done with him, I’m going to capture some British fans, guaranteed. …And at least they speak English over there.”
