Definitely the title, definitely Kamaru Usman interests me.

Definitely the title, definitely Kamaru Usman interests me.

For some reason, that's the title they're giving me: ''The Ultimate Fighter' Destroyer.'

I grew up in Miami, Florida.

This is a sport of a lot of knowledge, of knowing yourself well, knowing your soul and your spirit, your abilities both physically and mentally.

I feel like if they added a few weight classes it wouldn't change up the dynamics of the sport. You can still have champions and it wouldn't be like boxing. Boxing got messed up, because they've got so many belts, so many unifications. It's crazy.

I could sit down and give USADA my opinions on it, but I want to say they've done a great job. Guys like me are shining because of USADA.

You guys might not know who Yves Edwards is, if you don't, shame on you, go do some research.

A guy like Anderson Silva is one the greatest champions we've had.

Man, I never got to fight a ranked opponent at 155, and that wasn't because I wasn't winning.

The things that I rely on, USADA doesn't have a problem with them. I'm gonna continue to be the same athlete that I've always been.

It's taken me 26 professional fights to seek out nutritional help and I finally did and it's made a big change in my weight as far as weight cutting goes.

Let me make this clear: I think USADA has moved my sport forward in certain ways that I couldn't have imagined.

I've been fighting in people's backyards my whole life.

I'm the type of guy if you say something right now, whenever I see you, I'm going to hold you to that.

I'm a real fighter.

I don't come from this technology world.

I came to 170 and I got motivated and finally they started giving me ranked opponents.

I thought me hitting you and you not hitting me and me making you miss and even throwing more than you means that I won a fight.

I always cheer for my MMA brothers and sisters.
