Will I become a UFC champion some day? I know I will.
A quality martial artist is always ready for any move, and trains oneself invincible.
I was a pretty fit and physical kid, and my first interest was in martial arts and kung fu with all the Bruce Lee movies.
Jon Jones, grow up, bud. We're going to fight regardless of how you feel. And when we do, and I'm cutting the line, and you might as well pull the guard because I'm taking you down.
The biggest shock was the first fight. I didn't know what to expect. I fought Fujita. At that time, he was one of the most dangerous PRIDE fighters. He was a complete beast and with 130 kilograms of pure muscle.
Don't mess with me! I'm a black-belt!
I know since my first fight in the UFC I can beat Ronda Rousey, but of course I have to take my time and put everything together.
It's just kinda irritating to me that we're awarding people in mixed martial arts for trying to move away and not finish the fight.
I discovered martial arts, first judo and then karate.
I would like to be the youngest UFC world champion. I believe I can accomplish that.
I'm not afraid to grapple with anybody in the lightweight division.
I had always considered myself a martial artist who fights rather than a fighter who learned martial arts - although I probably flowed between those two categories over the years.
I'm not going all the way; I'm going to be the best fighter that's ever fought in MMA. That's what I truly believe.
Martial arts have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I was crazy about martial arts. At the age of three, I started training in karate.
You don't 'practice' martial arts; it's more like a way of life.
I tried martial arts classes for three weeks, but I quit because you actually get hit. I just want to do the movie kind of martial arts.
It's a dream of mine to be a mixed martial arts world champion.
I sometimes just don't like to see the Ultimate Fighting. I just find it, as a martial artist, I just find it too violent.
I have a taekwondo background, but I also try to invent new moves and make sure that when I step into the Octagon, I'm a different fighter.
I've actually picked up a lot of good habits from just watching film from Demetrious Johnson.
I grew up doing martial arts, and it's one of these things where I always kind of liked acting, but I was never real serious about it.
I've traveled to Brazil, Europe, Asia - all in preparation to defeat Demetrious Johnson, to defeat the pound-for-pound best fighter in history.
If you want the belt, you have to go drive it through and try to get it like I did against Miesha Tate.
The guys at Team Alpha Male, they're my friends. I have a lot of respect for those guys.
