We're already going to fight, we're going to test each other's will. We don't need everybody talking.

I think the sport is growing and along with it weight classes have to be added.

I never care about my opponents, especially now - I care about 'Gamebred' and 'Gamebred' is only going for the off button.

I've known Woodley for nine-plus years, ten-plus years. We've worked out together plenty. He's one of the guys who used to slam me all around the place. I was at 155, he was at 170 pounds and he was just the wrestler that is a superpower. So that was one of the dudes that got my wrestling a little better from going with guys like that.

I'm a guy who's in there everyday with world-class grapplers feeling that pressure.

I want to give big kudos to USADA. Can it be better? Yeah.

I want to fight the guys that are world-class beaters. That's who I want to get in there with.

I'm not going to kill my body, my lifestyle just to go to '55.

I've had to prove myself beyond that street-fighter image with some people in the UFC. It has a stigma to it.

Askren is that dude I'm not losing in any universe to.

The bigger the fight, the better.

I understand my role in this life, and my job is just to hurt people and get them out of there.

I've got a big buzz going on because I'm known and put people to sleep.

I can't stay stuck in the past.

I thought eating Double Quarter Pounders with Big Mac sauce wasn't that bad, but I guess it was.

I don't want to fight no up-and-coming guy, no guy that's 15-0 but hasn't faced anybody yet.

The more I tour the world, the more I see that people are just like me. They love violence.

My body fat at 173 is five percent, so the rest is just straight water that I lose.

If it was... let's say they just banned 170, that it was either 55 or 85, I'd go to 185 before I'd go to 55.

I asked for the toughest, best fights to my management, to my coaches.
