The best car I ever had was a Mazda 626. I paid $72 for it. The guy told me if I towed it off his property I could do whatever I wanted to it. So I paid to have it towed to my house and me and my step-dad fixed it up and drove it until I totalled it.

I worked in a dining hall in college and I worked at UPS for a full three weeks - it was the worst job I ever had.

Taking care of your family is the manliest thing you can do.

Whatever Brett Favre does, it's a sign of the apocalypse.

I've always mid-lined myself where I don't really expect myself to do big things or to win big fights. It's not a lack of confidence, it's just that I think to an extent that you need a bit of an ego if you're going to think that you're going to conquer something.

You have the belt, you fight who they tell you to fight.

Thiago Santos is a guy who can take your belt from you with one punch.

I've made a ton of money but I don't have as much as I'd like.

I am a Georgia guy, and I have Brett Favre's card when he played with the Atlanta Falcons. That's my retirement plan.

It's very unmanly to change yourself for others. Be comfortable with oneself. There have been feminist movements but there's never been a male one.

I wrote an article for Revolver and it was very offensive.

I feel bad for guys in other sports that never work a job. Think about it, most MMA fighters have had to do something for money whereas a guy who was an athlete in college sport then went straight to the pros, he's never had a skill outside of sport.

Winning the belt is one thing. But you're not really a champion until you defend it.

Unfortunately, I found out when I was trying to like square up with people and face off with people and, like, try to intimidate them and I'm pretty non-threatening.

No, I don't play video games.

It sucks when you do poorly at your job.

I've always kind of been the guy next door who just happens to fight for a living. I tried to figure out what was special and marketable about me early on in my career and I realized that there's absolutely nothing special about me, so I wanted that.

I will give one piece of advice that always keeps me going; get your body moving every day, no matter what. Don't truly have an off day, just move. Move light and try to get your body moving to break a light sweat.

For like a year, even after I retired, my ear would just bleed. There was just some scar tissue on it that tore open so many times that it just started bleeding all the time. It's rough on the wife, she has to keep washing the sheets again and again.

I don't have the best chin in the world.
