I want the belt. I'm focused on the belt, I'm focused on the world championship belt.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
Mixed martial arts has small windows of opportunity and there's always new faces coming through, so it's easy to forget you.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
I always like to keep busy, I always say if you're not injured then you should fight.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
I listen to my body and if I need to rest then I rest, but at the same time I'm not lazy.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
I've got big respect for Corey Anderson. He's a great fighter, he poses a big threat.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
I had lots of fun; I was in the boy scouts, I went camping. I just used to mess around like a normal kid.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
But that's the great thing about MMA, you know, you can never predict what's going to happen.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
One little mistake at the highest level costs you a fight, which I've learned.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
I like watching athletics and I like watching boxing. Probably the sprints, I like watching sprinting.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
Whatever the crowd is - cheering, booing or whatever - it's not anything I bother to think about.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
There's no such thing as a lucky punch. You throw to hurt someone and if you hurt someone, job done.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
That was one of the great moments for me, getting a knockout in front of my home crowd in London.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
I always say if you can't knock someone out with four ounce gloves on there is something wrong with you.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
From my three loses in my entire career I've always learned from them and came back stronger.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
I'm an explosive fighter so I've always got to have that strength, but you've got to mix it with endurance.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
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.
Quote by -Jimi Manuwa
I like all styles of MMA, my first classes in the sport were BJJ but I prefer to stand up.
