In combat sports, you should retire on top. That is very hard to do. I'm glad I had the discipline to do it.
When you're champion, you feel you're the center of the world.
I'm at my best when I'm nervous, scared. I feel like I'm on the edge, that's when I perform better.
I still eat my ice cream if I want to. I like dessert, of course.
When people tell me I can't do something, that's what excites me. It makes me perform better.
Even though you're the best, it doesn't mean you're not going to lose. And it doesn't mean nobody's going to beat you.
There's no such thing as the greatest of all time. It doesn't exist. It's an illusion.
There's only one Anderson Silva. I think he's a specialist and a generalist.
If you fear and you don't admit it, that's when you're lying to yourself.
The moment I'm most proud of my career is when I got dropped by the headkick by Carlos Condit. I fell down and I was able to stand up.
I do not believe Michael Bisping is a good trash talker.
I'm not a good talker, I'm a good fighter.
I'm pretty bad at video games.
I would say Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel are very attractive. I think I would put Jessica Biel as No. 1. She's very beautiful.
I'm not the kind of guy that really buys clothing. I'm lucky. Most of the time, if I want something, I can get it from my sponsors.
I like hip-hop music.
I don't depend on fighting or the UFC to live my life.
