I love apple crumble and custard - that's my little treat.

I enjoy healthy foods but I'm not scared to have a cheat meal or cheat day, have a burger or whatever.

I dunno - there's always a beast that comes out whenever I want it to... I can control the beast and everything, but it comes out when I want to.

I'm a bit of a night owl, I'm always visiting the gym throughout the night.

When I'm champion, I'll fight the best because I am the best.

I was introduced to money as a teenager, my friends had nice things. It came naturally to me to try and make money.

I like all styles of MMA, my first classes in the sport were BJJ but I prefer to stand up.

I'm a knockout specialist who comes to fight and who's exciting to watch.

At school, I was a lot more advanced compared to the other kids but I didn't like authority and was kicked out for fighting.

I'm an explosive fighter so I've always got to have that strength, but you've got to mix it with endurance.

From my three loses in my entire career I've always learned from them and came back stronger.

I know the mistakes I made against Gustafsson and I won't do that again.

Now I've got near the top, I can see the games that people play. I thought everyone wanted to fight the best, and earn title shots, but it's not like that.

On fight day, I usually have peanut butter and porridge in the morning; bananas and a nice fruit salad. Then, as the day goes on, I'll have some carbs.

When I was ranked No. 11 or 12, they offered me Gustafsson who was the No. 1 contender, and I didn't hesitate. I was No. 10 when I fought Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson who was the No. 1 contender. We accept fights, but not everyone is like that, I'm beginning to find out. It's not right.

It would be great to fight on UFC 200 obviously. It's going to be an historic event but the card is getting full quickly.

I'm not interested in story lines or trash-talk.

I don't think anyone hits as hard as I do in the light heavyweight division.

Look at my record - I always bring a finish.

I've learned about every aspect of MMA.

I remember being happy and a little wild kid.

It's been frustrating. Since I've broken into the top five, I've seen the politics of fighters dodging fights, cherry picking fights and this that and the other.

Yeah, I call my warrior spirit the lion.

I always say if you can't knock someone out with four ounce gloves on there is something wrong with you.

That was one of the great moments for me, getting a knockout in front of my home crowd in London.

I used to fight in school. I was a rough, athletic child. I always knew I could fight and, watching UFC, I was always fascinated by it.

There's no such thing as a lucky punch. You throw to hurt someone and if you hurt someone, job done.

Thankfully, hamstring injuries don't take that long to heal.

We used to go to the fairground, and there's that punchable thing that measures your power. It was from one of those that I knew I could punch.

Whatever the crowd is - cheering, booing or whatever - it's not anything I bother to think about.

In every sport you get cheats.

I don't know anything about CM Punk. I'd never even heard of him until he was mentioned in UFC. I wouldn't know him if I walked past him in the street, I don't know... he might be a good wrestler but there are people in the UFC who are just good wrestlers.

A lot of people think they're better than they are and it can be very hard to get found out when you come up against a good fighter, getting dominated in every single way - every area you thought you were good in.

My earliest sporting memory is probably going judo when I was about 6 or 7 years old. My dad and my brother did it for a couple of years when I was young, in Nigeria.

I like watching athletics and I like watching boxing. Probably the sprints, I like watching sprinting.

I'm a big fan of Anderson Silva.

I like exciting fighters - Anthony Pettis, Jose Aldo. I like all the great fighters, Cain Velasquez, all the champions. They're so good at what they do. I just admire people who are good at what they do and people you can watch and learn from.

One little mistake at the highest level costs you a fight, which I've learned.

I've never been a decision fighter.

But that's the great thing about MMA, you know, you can never predict what's going to happen.

I had lots of fun; I was in the boy scouts, I went camping. I just used to mess around like a normal kid.

I've never turned down a fight in my life. Ever.

I've got big respect for Corey Anderson. He's a great fighter, he poses a big threat.

I listen to my body and if I need to rest then I rest, but at the same time I'm not lazy.

I've knocked out a lot of people so I'm not going to cry about being stopped, it's part of the game and I can accept that.

I always like to keep busy, I always say if you're not injured then you should fight.

Mixed martial arts has small windows of opportunity and there's always new faces coming through, so it's easy to forget you.

That's what it's all about in MMA, we're not the highest paid athletes in the world, so when you can get the big money fights you have to take them.

My diet is just the normal stuff that you know is healthy - nice, clean food - meats, vegetables, fresh juices. I don't have too many sauces, I just like really plain chicken, broccoli: all clean stuff.

I'm not really into supplements, I mostly try to get it all from my food. I take multivitamins, vitamin D - which is really important - zinc and magnesium, but that's about it.
