Everybody has a game plan, but the plan changes after the first punch.

Love me or hate me, it's all in my favor. If you love me, I'll always be in your heart. If you hate me, I'll always be in your mind.

Nothing is impossible for God.

Man, I got to say I love my haters because they challenge myself... it challenges me. It challenges me to be better. It challenges me to show who I am and that I deserve to be who I am.

I'm a big fan of Wanderlei Silva; he's a big international idol.

My first opportunity in the UFC was to cut to 140 pounds. This was too tough for me, but by me going through that, it opened the door for a 145-pound division.

I'm open for big fights, and it would be my dream to make my division in the UFC.

What wins a fight is training hard, working hard, and that's what I do: Train hard every time. Being pretty or not is not the point.

If I can make a superfight so when I finish my career I can say, 'You remember this fight with Ronda, with Holly Holm,' something nice that I can talk about with my kids or my friends - I'm open to make superfights.

I have a lot of things that people say about me on the Internet. I have bad things that I don't want to remember now. It's hard to delete.

I was a very good athlete: actually professional in the sport of handball.

I want to make super fun fights for all my fans so people will remember me.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but you learn.

I love striking, but MMA and Muay Thai are different.

Sometimes people fight with injuries and nobody knows, so it's important for the fans to see what we do to - for everything.

I fight for the women. I try to do my best inside the Octagon to fight like a man; then, people will respect girls in the Octagon.

I train everything: I train wrestling; I train jiu-jitsu. I like to suplex people. I like ground-and-pound, but in my fight, I never have the opportunity.

Not a lot of girls can KO fighters. I KO all the girls.

I have a dream fight - boxing fight - and I am for sure gonna fight a boxing fight.

I've already overcome a lot of things in my career, and if I don't fight in the UFC anymore, for sure I'm gonna find other ways to keep growing my legacy.

I always admired Dana White as a great businessman that always believed in MMA and helped our sport to grow around the world.

I like to compete in everything - I like to compete in jiu-jitsu, I like to compete in wrestling and Muay Thai, and if I have a chance to compete in boxing one day, why not?

I think when you train in just one sport separately, you learn more.

I love my job. I love to fight, and I love to compete.

I'm always ready for a fight.

I never choose my opponents.

I really want to fight Ronda. The problem is, I can't drop to 135.

I'm already used to being a target, so I'm building a castle with the stones people throw at me.

Tito Ortiz and I, in that short time that we worked together, we created a very nice connection. We became a family. I learned many things from him as he must also have learned from me. We talked as friends, and a good friend always wants your best.

Beauty doesn't win a fight.

A fighter has to be prepared for anyone, to train every day. That's what I learned at Chute Boxe.

I have jiu-jitsu, wrestling... I like to do everything, especially knocking people out. People like fights like that.

I'm always prepared for five, six rounds. I train hard. Sometimes it's over quickly, but you have to be prepared for every round, always respecting your opponent.

I had trouble making weight before in my career.

Trash talk is not my thing. I believe I have other weapons to make a fight get booked.

I love to fight. Keeping me at home without a fight is the same to offer candy to a kid and then take it away. That's why I'm always competing in other martial arts. That keeps me motivated to train and helps me learn even more.

I'm the world champ at 145. Why do I have to go down a division? Of course I want to make the fights nice for the fans, but I don't want to do something to make my life terrible.

I love to fight, but it's not just about the fight. You have to be healthy.

I never hated Ronda. She's always talked about me; she did that to promote herself because when she started, nobody knew her, and she talked about me for people to know who she is. And she opened the doors for women's MMA.

I think when you lose the fight, it's not the end of the world. You can keep training and catch up and try again better, you know?

Losing a fight, winning - it happens.

Who inside MMA that's a champion goes to fight Muay Thai? Nobody. But I love competing.

If you have the belt, you have to fight anyone.

I believe that some athletes have fear, but you have to work on that. Athletes can't have fear. Fear of what? Fear of losing? Everybody loses one day.

Both fighters can't win in this sport, so you have to leave it in God's hands. Losing is not the end of the world. Losing is natural; the better-prepared athlete will win.

Who's the best MMA fighter of all times? I always left that for fans to decide.

I believe I deserve to be respected as an athlete because I'm a pioneer in this sport.

If I make 140, I sacrifice a lot of things in my life: my diet, my training, my thyroid. It's insane to make 140.

I think it would be the biggest fight ever. Me and Ronda Rousey. Everybody wanna watch.

I love training - I train a lot - but for 140, it's worse. You have to run every day. I ran six miles in the morning, six miles at night and train MMA and other arts, too. It's a lot of work, a lot of work.
