Legacy is really important to me. It's more important than dollars to me. So with that said, I try to find the fights that would solidify my legacy.

I think Nick Diaz is a great fighter.

My end goal is not to break the record for cashing in the most. I want to be treated fair and what I feel is fair, but that's not my sole purpose; that's not my purpose.

Man, I fought since pre-K. I was small for my grade, but I was tough.

Certain athletes show themselves as marketable, and the UFC gets behind them; they help push them. I'm a husband, a father of four, a gym owner, an actor, an analyst, a stuntman, a Christian - every avenue you can take it, I have those layers.

There's something about somebody who does something special in the UFC that they're allotted certain freedoms and wiggle room around the rules. I'm just not in that category. So if I want to fight Georges St-Pierre or Nick Diaz or Nate Diaz, then it's all the hooplah and all the talk about it.

For me, I think you can coach guys in martial artsm, and wrestling can be one aspect of it, but I have no desire to be an NCAA wrestling coach again. It was one of the worst coaching jobs I have ever had.

The thing I hate about mixed martial arts is that it's no longer a sport. It's a big-money business, and it's an entertainment industry.

Look at guys like Demetrious Johnson, who's the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world. Why isn't he on the largest pay scale? Why are there people that aren't even champions making more money?

Johnny Hendricks has better credentials, but in MMA, I might be the best wrestler for the style.
