All I care about is getting smarter and better.
Any time you get a title shot, you always try to wait for it the best you can.
Anytime you can be the face of the UFC is so huge, a great honor, and I would do everything I could to keep it that way.
But after defeating Carlos Condit, I've shown I deserve to have a title shot.
Check out my pictures. I'm fat. You know what I mean? But I love it. I love it. I'm a fat dude.
Every fight, I have to learn something.
Everybody's got problems in life. That's the way it is.
Fighting lives and dies; you can't fight forever.
For some reason, I have a thick skull.
God blessed me with a great wife, a great family, and a great coach.
Growing up wrestling, you get injured, and they expect you back on the mat in a couple weeks unless it's really bad.
GSP can't hide from me forever, you know.
I always thought I could be pretty good, and it turns out fighting has made me happy.
I am undefeated in Oklahoma, and that's the thing; I plan on keeping it that way.
I can't keep fighting and being the No. 1 contender for years.
Word of mouth is very powerful.
That's my goal for every fight, is to hit them as hard as I can.
There's no reason to be involved in the sport if I'm not going to fight to my best ability.
My wife and kids mean more than the belt or UFC or anything else to me.
I'm done fighting at welterweight. Unless they open up a 175-pound division, I'm moving up to middleweight.
The Lord blessed me with great strength.
I still like fighting, it just got to a point in MMA where it was just another day.
I don't take anything personal.
I just want the belt. That's the only thing that's pushing me, the only thing that's motivating me.
I've got to believe in my skills.
If I beat Carlos Condit, nobody's in my way.
You take it fight by fight, day by day. That's how I live it. That's how I train.
The most important thing is to win fights. It doesn't matter how you do it.
