HENRY CEJUDO

In the year 2013, I fought six times. I fought four times in two-and-a-half months.

I'm a big Conor McGregor fan. I really am, man. I enjoy him; I like watching him.

The general public, they get bored. There's no interest because they think, or they know, Demetrious Johnson will always win. And I've always said, even after that loss to Demetrious Johnson, even after he beat me, I said I felt him a little bit. I still believe I can beat him, even after being knocked down the first round.

I'm ready for anybody. If it's John Dodson, if it's Demetrious Johnson, if it's Joseph Benavidez, I'm ready for whichever one, whoever wants a piece of me.

I think T. J. Dillashaw and Demetrious Johnson - I'm a bad matchup for both of them.

M.M.A. is growing, and it's a basic wrestling sport. A lot of fighters are ex-wrestlers. A lot of guys take the easy way out, make quick money.

I study myself. I study film, and I make sure that everything's on point.

Suffering makes me hungry. Suffering allows me to put some hurt in my opponent. It's a good thing.

Let's be honest: material comes and goes.

My parents are from Mexico City.

I have a purpose and a meaning in life, and I have to fulfill that. Being a champion is great, but more importantly than that, you get to be an inspiration and a role model to other people.

I actually won the Copper Gloves in Arizona.

It's up to the UFC, but I'll fight whomever, whenever. Minus maybe Vegas.

At some point, if the UFC allows me, I'd like to go to 125 because I know I can win that belt, man. I'm too strong, and I'm too fast.

When I'm inspired, I know I can get things done.

I would love to fight in Mexico City.

I got a huge target on my back. But you know what, I'm going to embrace that, and everybody is on notice - flyweights and bantamweights.

I'd like to see him fight at 135 for the championship. I want to see how good Demetrious Johnson is or how far he could take it.

I remember reading the book 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad,' and I remember writing my goals down, and my number one goal in life was just to be a good husband and a good father someday. That was number one, as a 17-year-old kid.

I'm a fighter now. I'm officially a mixed martial artist. I'm not a wrestler no more.

When I think of a world class wrestler, I think of Mo Lawal.

There's not too many times in life do you get a chance at redemption.

I really work on my defense a lot; that's what makes me a good fighter.

In MMA, it's a sport, but it's entertainment, too.

I'm a tank, man.
