You've got Jon Jones, for instance. That guy is the best, one of the best fighters in the world, but he's a cheater.

Every loss I take, I've accepted, and I move on.

I got injuries already from fighting from guys that have been cheating. And you're never the same when you get injured like that. I mean, look at my hand. It's broken, it's got 16 screws in it. I'm not as strong in this hand. It just affects you, especially this body being my livelihood.

I'm not gonna waste my money watching two cheaters fight. Why would I? They're cheaters, in the end. That's basically all they are. They should get nothing.

For me, with fighting, I'm not going to have any regrets. I'm throwing down to the very end.

Everyone wants to be UFC champion, and that's my goal and my dream.

Knowing and assuming are two different things.

I never lose a rematch.

My memory is not that good anymore.

I do watch some of my losses, but it just makes me think, 'Well, you know, should have done this; could have done that.' But that's why I don't like watching it. It's a shoulda/coulda/woulda thing.

I'm never confident about anything, especially with law.

They can be King Kong, Godzilla, or whatever - I don't care what they have. Once you get a punch in the face or a knee in the head, all of those skills are gone.

At the end of the day, I'm one of the greatest fighters on the planet.

I'm not a liar. I'm a pretty straight up person.

Everyone's a world class ground fighter until they get a punch to the face.

There is nothing wrong with my health. Who doesn't forget things from time-to-time? Who out there has never stuttered or slurred a word at some point?

My brain is fine.

My old man was ruthless. He terrorised us.

I'd fight any of the top guys.

I'm always down for a battle. I was born down.

I love rematches.

I'm a professional; I've got to be on weight all the time. There's not excuses for that.

It's the fight game, and everyone loses. You win some, you lose some. You just try to get back up on the horse.

I've got my dreams. I want to be the best fighter on the planet.

I never wanted to be a fighter. This is what God said I'm going to do, and I'm happy with that.

I feel blessed by God.

I'm not going to underestimate any fighter.

There should be no tolerance for cheaters, especially in fighting.

Every fight is different.

I used to make $300 a week, struggling to put food on the table, but I have become one of the highest-paid fighters in the world. I feel that's destiny.

I've been fighting since I was a child, fighting to get out of my circumstances.

I'd be champ already if it wasn't for the cheaters.

I eat too much.

It's not my decision, what goes on with who gets a title shot. I mean, some people get their shots in two or three fights. They're pretty lucky. I wish I could be like them.

It's a dream of mine to be a mixed martial arts world champion.

I've been the best fighter in the world at kickboxing - they can't take that away from me - but when I started in MMA, I realized how great this sport is. It's the ultimate combat sport, and that's why I want to be the world's best at it.

That first loss in the UFC was a tough one. I hadn't fought in a year, and you start again, different organisation, different scenario, and it all plays into it.

You back me into a corner, I'm not going to lay down and die. I've been down that road too many years in my life.

Part of my gift as a fighter is being a human punching bag.

My sister is strong.

I've been given a platform with the UFC, so I might as well share my story.

People always say its an aggressive and bad sport and just like street fighting, but it's not the same thing. You go into work at the gym every day, and it takes away from being an aggressive person in public. You're training every day, and you're losing that aggression for the public.

The whole reason I fight is for my family. Everything I do is for them.

My hands aren't even that big.

You don't learn anything from quick knockouts. I learn more about myself from hard fights.

When I'm fighting, I'm trying to find a reaction. I try to make the guy move; I try to make him do things that I want him to do. If he likes moving a certain way, I try to set something up so I catch him if he moves that way.

I've fought the best in the world.

It's not that I don't enjoy fighting. I don't enjoy the circumstances around fighting.

Fighting has been a part of my life for my entire existence.

There is nothing wrong with fighting, but when you're fighting an uphill battle on an uneven playing field, that's what I don't like.
