Athlete

I am not the super-submission guy, I am not the one-punch KO guy, so I am not the most feared guy in the world. But I will not quit, I will not break and I will fight you like a dog for every second of every round.

HIV is not a gay or straight disease. It's a young people's disease, unfortunately.

I can do anything for 25 minutes.

I want people to like me.

I always wanted to work in charitable things, community outreach, etc.

You have to move on with your life at some point. You don't quit fighting, fighting quits you at some point. It's very unfortunate, but that's the nature of the beast. And that's one of those things, too, that I like to tell young fighters. Have a backup plan.

I'm a nice guy. I'm trying to be positive. I've got my own things, I'm kinda crazy but I'm not trying to hurt anybody. I'm trying to be good and I'm doing the best I can. Just like everybody else.

I get to work out for my job and punch people and wrassle, that's a pretty cool job.

I say whatever's on my mind, I don't really care.

It's long been a problem. But I'm not just talking about the UFC - I mean homophobia in sports in general and athletes sometimes say really stupid things.

Some guys are real noble guys, like Rich Franklin or Randy Couture. These guys are just really good people who happen to fight.

Anytime you think about ring rust and travel and camps back-to-back, it helps not having any bad injuries and being able to train consistently.

I try to break a sweat every day doing something. Try to do hot pilates once a week. I'm not kidding. I actually hurt myself doing hot pilates, so I got that going for me.

You would have to be born with a gene that doesn't allow you to recognize sarcasm if you take anything I say seriously.

I'm never going to struggle but I definitely want to make more money, we all do.

The only thing that gives my mom pleasure in life is buying stuff off QVC, and I'm gonna pay those bills. I paid my mom's house off. My wife's family needs help? I'm gonna take care of that.

I like ice cream, I don't like pain.

I like to make people quit. Whether it's because I'm striking them or submitting them, I just want to make them quit. In the war of wills, that's the win.

I had some pretty substantial injuries.

I try not to make personal attacks on people - unless they're deserving.
