I want the whole world to watch me fight. But you know if people are just tuning in to hear me trash talk are not fight fans.
I'm not in the business to get hit and take concussions.
Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the land; I'm the fastest man in mixed martial arts.
I'm not going to go out there and have these slugfests, but I'll go out there and dominate my opponent. That's what I do in my fight.
I'm a smaller guy, so I train at a high pace.
I'm very well-rounded. It's mixed martial arts.
For every champion, after you win the belt, you want to defend it as many times as possible.
I'm just a small guy.
Honestly, I would love to fight Henry Cejudo. You've got that gold medalist in the Olympics, I would love to test myself against that.
Each time I'm training and sparring, I'm always pushing myself to submit my training partners.
I don't allow people's outlook on me dictate what I do in my life and how I live my life.
'Super Contra' was the game I fell in love with. I played and beat that game with my mom.
The first time I saw a commercial for my fight was UFC 210.
That's kind of how I see my workmanship it's how many hours I put in that makes me better.
My wife is very supportive.
MMA has the rudest, most negative, dumbest, ignorant fans in the world - but it also has the most passionate fans in the world.
Me, I'm a working-class man, and I go to my job, put in the work, and walk away clean and unscathed, and I like it that way.
It's always about bringing in the numbers, the viewership. That's what gets you the money.
In the beginning of your mixed martial arts career, you're not making good money.
In my mind, there's more to life than just fighting. That's just how I am.
If somebody goes, 'You should go to 135,' my heart's just not into it.
I'm the type of fighter who has never made an excuse. I fought with a broken rib, broken leg.
I'm not looking for people to put that vote on me to be prom king of the UFC.
I'm never going to turn down a fight.
I'm a black-and-white type of dude. If you say something, I believe you're gonna do it.
