Athlete

One thing about me is that my parents didn't force me to be an athlete.

I think it's great to have USADA come in and clean up the sport, because what I don't want to do is train my butt off for 10 weeks to prepare for a fight for a limited amount of money to feed my family, then get out there with a guy that maybe put in 3 weeks training and cheated.

Demian Maia, he's a legend. He's a veteran in the game. He knows how to fight. He's been through so many five-round fights. He's headlined a lot of cards, fought Anderson Silva for the title, fought Tyron Woodley for the title. He's a veteran, he knows how to fight, and he's always training. He's a jiu-jitsu wizard.

At the end of the day, I'm a professional.

They say the body is 70 percent water, and you need that water for a reason.

I can't fight forever. Commentating is one of those major things that I definitely feel I want to do and can do.

When you aren't able to do what makes you dominant, what separates you from the pack, it can throw your mind off.

I'm a good, upstanding guy with moral values and core values.

At the end of the day, my job is to win in impressive fashion.

The fight game has changed to where it's no longer the toughest is fighting the toughest to be the best on the planet.

There was a time when guys just had a specialty, like boxer or wrestler or jiujitsu guy. Then came guys who could blend taking you down with also being able to kick your head off.

You can't say that I don't have the skills. You can't say that. I have the skills.

I study this sport.

When you go to hotels, who are the maids who work at most of those hotels? A lot of them are immigrants. We take pride in that because we're in a better place and want to provide for our families.

I fractured my left foot.

I believe the UFC was sold based on their performance and the services they've provided, so if a company comes in and buys it, they just bought the blueprints of their success. I believe that WME-IMG bought the UFC because of its structure and success.

Can't nobody handle me.

I've already proved I have what it takes to be the champion. I'm right there.
