Never fear another challenger, no matter how large; Never despise another challenger, no matter how small.
I think I have a big advantage. But it's certainly a three-person race. And you have a couple of other people that are very talented there too. So we have a five-man race. And I think that it's going to be not easy. I have a big advantage. But a long way from being won.
I believe, if I beat Demian Maia, it's going to be very hard for the other top guys to go around me.
Whether it's Google or Apple or free software, we've got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes.
There's always competitors out there, one way or another.

I don't necessarily know about the rankings. I always like to look at it as, it's the person with the belt, and it's everybody else.
