I like aggressive fighters who will come after me.

I'd like to have all of my losses back. But it's too late for that.

I hate hearing in a UFC corner, 'You won the first four rounds; just stay away from him this round.'

People got to understand, the fighters at the top are the fighters that are supposed to get paid because they're the guys that are bringing people in, bringing eyes to the TV, getting pay-per-views buys, and putting people in the seats. I mean, that's what it comes down to.

I try to take two weeks off after a fight and then get back to working out four or five times a week.

You have to learn your own details before you can teach them.

I never expected it, but I've gotten paid a lot to do what I love. There are no complaints.

Aldo needed to feel McGregor out. Coming right at him ran into McGregor's game. I thought he'd start by taking him down and confuse him a little. Maybe he had all that stuff planned, but one combo, and Aldo got caught. That happens, especially with a guy as talented and precise and full of power as Conor.

I don't think the itch to fight has ever left me, ever. I mean, I got paid to do what I love for a living, and I got paid very well to do it. So that's going to always be there. That's always going to be like, 'Man, I wouldn't mind getting out there again.'

I'm not an emotional fighter.

Everyone says I drive like my grandfather, but that's not always a good thing because he didn't always watch the road because he'd talk to you and look at you. He was a deputy sheriff, a cop, for a long time. So he was always looking around, checking out other things, other than what's directly in front of him.

'Dancing with the Stars' was hard work. It was interesting and fun, too, but it was hard work.

I've been on a lot of shows that I like, doing guest appearances and little things. I'm just trying to have fun with being retired.

I drove the Ford Ranger until probably five years after college, till about 2001, when I was almost 30.

Totally different challenges, but being a dad and fighting both wear you out.

If you watch fights cage-side, sometimes different punches look better than others. It's like camera angles. Sometimes some punches look a lot better than they were, and sometimes a solid punch doesn't look good. So it just depends on your angle.

Having 'The Ultimate Fighter' was the thing that did it for us, live fighting on TV. That's what we had to do, was get a live fight on TV. It couldn't have worked out better.

I tried in my career to be really good to fans.

When I'm training at home, I have five meals for the day that I just heat up. It's all planned, and that's what I eat.

You can actually find a lot of gyms that do teach mixed martial arts. But it's just like with any martial art - you've got to look at the coaches, go watch some classes, see how people treat each other and how the coaches treat the students.
