At training camp, you brainwash yourself into thinking every, day is the same, no weekends or holidays. It's all the same - a work day. You develop a mental state to just work hard and get ready for the fight.
I'm tough, and you know what? New Yorkers deserve that. They work head, they fight it out, they slug it out. And they deserve a mayor or a speaker who's going to do the same.
Conor McGregor has that fight anybody, anywhere attitude but doesn't just have the attitude, he lives it.
Some guys lock up when they hear the crowd. I feel the energy and take it with me into the fight. I've been in front of huge crowds and know to use that energy.
I'm not selfish before a fight or afterwards, but for the time of the fight itself, I have to think totally of myself.
I give no quarter, and I ask for none. Out there, I'm going to fight for my team and do the best I can.
Some women just fight to fight. I fight to win.
We want less goddamn analysis and more fighting spirit.
You have to be confident about the product you're putting out. It's just like when a boxer is promoting a fight. You can't go out there and be like, 'This guy might beat me.'
I'm a very proud warrior and with that mentality comes great fights: especially when I'm in with opponents that mean business.
I go into every fight trying to win as easy as I can.
Even when I was winning my fights, once it's over, it's over. It's in the past, and you've got to look forward.
I just put all my energy into me and focusing on what I'm going to do, and I'll go in there and do that right through the end of the fight until I get the job done.
I always want to fight someone who is going to be game out there.
I focus on staying healthy, going to the gym, and I go out there and fight.
Only thing I care about, the only thing I think about is the fight in front of me.
I'm confident in all my fights. You have to be. You have to put any negative thoughts aside.
It's the warm-up in the changing room when I switch on. I don't even think about the fight until then. Some fighters are bouncing about the walls, but I switch off. Then it's like someone flicks a switch in me.
You take it fight by fight, day by day. That's how I live it. That's how I train.
I just look at what's ahead of me. I don't think about, 'For my legacy, I need to do this, this, and this.' I just focus on every fight and how to win that fight.
I can't understand how some guys get tired after one round. If you can't go the distance, why are you even in the fight?
I came into the league fighting, and it looks like I'm going to go out fighting.
If I look good then I feel good and if I feel good, then I'll fight good.
I don't look too far ahead. I focus on the next fight.
When you challenge me, I like my chances in a fistfight. On the field, I use the same approach. I'm going to win. And I'll do it by any means necessary. If you're not willing to go that route, don't come my way.
