My dream is to be the best fighter at 155 pounds in the world.
It's perfectly okay to fail. It sounds corny, but it truly is about the journey.
Failure isn't failure unless you just stop with that.
This extends to all things, but you only learn it by losing a few times.
I had to fight Donald Cerrone, Anthony Pettis, Gil Melendez, Rafael Dos Anjos. I had to fight these guys in order to prove myself in order to get a title shot.
Whatever my situation, I'm a strong disciplinarian; I can do what I hate to do but do it like I love it.
I think Robbie Lawler is a good name and a fight that interests me.
If you have a clear picture in your head of something that's going to happen... then nothing can stop it.
I praise World Series of Fighting, they gave me every opportunity I had, and at the end, they were totally professional and did everything they could to help me out.
I want the best money, and obviously the highest ceiling that you can be the best is in the UFC. But yeah, I praise Bellator. They gave me a great offer.
I've been fighting in the UFC for five years now and it's about time I'm headlining a card.
I keep having vivid dreams of success. Then it's time to sleep.
Oh, I'm going to raise him on Black Sabbath and Metallica and football and MMA and all things that should matter for a young boy, and discipline and strength and honor and courage and everything that I would hope to instill within my son.
My father created this whole MMA thing.
Listen to what I'm saying: I'm back. Junior Dos Santos, Alexander Volkov, or revenge against Stipe Miocic. That fight, I didn't do well, and I really want to fix it.
I already knew a lot about the ground aspects of MMA, being a wrestler, but there was so much more. There was kicking, punching, and other things I wish I could have done as a wrestler. It really stoked my interest.
It's sad when a MMA fighter talks to an NFL or NBA player about how much money they make. That's embarrassing. You tell them how much you make and they laugh.
I stay ready so I don't have to get ready.
I want everybody on Fox to see my fighting style, to really become a fan of the sport.
When one has no form, one can be all forms.
I've always been a UFC fan, and I like McGregor and the way he promotes it.
Don't be that guy that's laying in that hospital bed going, 'I wonder what would have happened if I tried it?' The worst thing that could happen is that it doesn't work.
All that matters is how you see yourself.
It's interesting because my Mixed Martial Arts upbringing is less Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which is the traditional thing that people study.
When you fight someone, you share the experience with that one person, and you’re never going to have that experience with someone else-even in another fight.
