I lost a lot of money with sponsors.
I'm a proper man.
I don't like this little word 'if.' If we start adding 'if, if, if,' that means I wouldn't conquer anything completely.
The sweet feeling is knowing that nobody gave me anything for free.
I learned that education and sport are the bedrock for any person, but education comes first, no doubt about it.
It's never late to go after your dreams. All it takes is believing and hard work.
Let me fight Jon Jones. I need that rematch.
Legacy is not what I did for myself. It's what I'm doing for the next generation.
I'm not retiring, because when you retire, you're still getting paid. I'm not getting paid, so I'm not retiring.
The worst thing in life is not to die but to live with bitterness.
People don't know what pain is until they suffer.
In the natural life, we eat, we drink water, we give birth, we pay taxes. In the spiritual life, we can only reach it by faith.
I'll focus on my training, no matter who I fight.
My body is not the same anymore for training. It's too much pain. I did more than 14 surgeries. I left everything in the Octagon.
I thank God every day.
That's how I live my life, with belief. I am a winner.
Sometimes you fall down, but you have to pick yourself back up.
Sometimes I flashback and say, 'Wow I'm still doing this. Wow, it's crazy.' And I'm very thankful, but I think my body needs a rest.
Some things really don't matter.
People say, 'Oh, so you should retire.' Yeah, you want me to retire so you won't get knocked out. I won't retire.
My mindset as an athlete and as a man is to accept what God is asking me to do and to live my life expressing God's word.
My hope is in God.
My heart is so peaceful.
Like in combat when you're in chaos, a Navy SEAL in chaos, you cannot be afraid of dying for a cause.
Life is politics.
Life is about seasons, and I think you got to know the seasons.
