One element of wrestling that I know what I grew up with we put a lot of emphasis towards was the takedown. But, you could win an Olympic championship and never score a takedown, and I don't know if MMA fans are even aware of that.

I don't really know what 'respect' means. That sounds like something a kid in the street says after he's getting ready to take your coat and your shoes.

I don't think I've ever had a better experience in the sport than coaching 'The Ultimate Fighter.' I got to do it twice, but I got to really build relationships there that will last forever.

My dad was a plumber. That's hard work. He never missed a day of work. I will never disrespect him by not showing up for an athletic competition that has a maximum duration of 25 minutes. There should be forfeiture if you have to pull out of a fight. If you don't show up, it should be a loss on your record.

I love going to the ring hurt or sick or tired and trying to figure out how to win anyway.

I want to make the UFC money.

Accosting somebody in public can be regrettable. Accosting a gangster can be hazardous.

All sin and all crime comes from the same thing: 'I decided. I decided this was okay.'

Fans don't even know what they want at times.

I don't want to be an also-ran.
