Anyone that is in the UFC, if you don't have a dream for the title, you're in the wrong sport. You can leave.

Stop messing around sending me unranked fighters. I want someone ranked, someone that will take me closer to my goal, which is to become champion.

Everything in life has its perfect moments.

I'm a legend now. But I'll keep my feet on the ground.

I think the UFC needs to value me and they are valuing me.

I'm working hard not only during training, but also studying English to talk to the crowd and respond by myself during interviews.

I had no easy fights ever since I joined the UFC.

I practiced everything, from my BJJ to wrestling, judo and Muay Thai.

Max Holloway, I know I can beat him.

I have a great jiu-jitsu game and I'm awesome at submissions.

When Kevin Lee's name was brought up, I told everyone I thought this fight would happen. This is a good fight for me. It surprised me because nobody wants to fight in Brazil.

I showed that once again a guy from the 'favela,' from the community, it taking over the world.

I'm here to put on a show.

I called out Conor McGregor, but it didn't work.

I love it here, 145 pounds is my division.

I'm ready to fight anyone, top 10, top 5... I deserve a chance at the belt.

I come from the favelas, I'm grounded.

The only thing Kevin Lee does better than me is talk and sell fights like that. I sell fights my own way, inside the cage.

Anthony Pettis, he's a really tough fighter and it was a close fight until I made a mistake and gave him the neck.
