Things can change quickly in the UFC. I lost to Nate Marquardt in my first loss as a middleweight and then I defeated Dan Miller and fought for the title against Anderson Silva.
I could beat Yoel Romero, who is probably more dangerous than someone like Anderson Silva, but I would get more credit for beating Silva.
The UFC want me as their champion. The welterweight division needs me as its champion. It's been static for too long. I'll win the title, defend it a couple of times, and then move up to middleweight.
Michael Bisping versus Georges St-Pierre is a money fight, and the UFC loves money fights.
I want my rematch with Vitor Belfort, and I'd like it here in the States. And I'll go through anyone I need to get it, especially Michael Bisping.
Sugar Ray Robinson was at the top of the boxing world during the 1950's when it seemed that he would either win or lose the championship about every three or four months.
I know Canelo before. He's a good guy. Good fighter.
There's a lot of good fighters at 168 with or without Canelo, so I want to test myself against them.
It's not news that I want to face Vitor Belfort or Chael Sonnen.
I've been at super middleweight for a long time.
I am ready for a title unification fight with Keith Thurman and hope to be ready before too long for a move up to light-middleweight to meet Canelo Alvarez.
Luke Rockhold is the guy I want to face.
I tried my best to ensure I kept the respect for the middleweight division in the tradition of Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake La Motta.
I won't watch that Amir fight from now until I fight Alvarez. I'm not a blown up 147 or a Miguel Cotto. I'm a big 154 lb., and I'm coming of age and coming to win.
Gennady Golovkin is a small middleweight, I'm a big super-middleweight. The fight was maybe talked about a year after I retired and it was never going to happen.
Hassan N'Dam is a very good fighter, he's very experienced and been around a long time. He's got good footwork, very good movement.
Michael Bisping is a really tough competitor and a hard worker.
I want that fight with Jarrett Hurd and I want to be the one that knocks Jarrett Hurd out and takes his belts.
I've pictured myself fighting a whole bunch of people. Not only the Max Holloway, but also Conor, Cejudo, Korean Zombie, even Khabib Nurmagomedov.
I've got two 10-8 rounds against Anderson Silva. That's just the truth. I have no equal at middleweight.
Paulo Costa vs. Yoel Romero was everything we hoped it would be. Two behemoths throwing sledgehammers at each other and walking forward. Just an incredible display of athleticism, will and power.
I'm done fighting at welterweight. Unless they open up a 175-pound division, I'm moving up to middleweight.
I'd like to see Melvin Manhoef fight Robbie Lawler.
You can't talk about Golovkin in the same breath as me. If he thinks he can beat me, he's not from planet Earth.
I'm going to show everyone why Jermell Charlo is a threat to the whole 154-pound division.
