I like to have a lot of time to be able to format what I want to do, and how I'm going to do my training camp. When you're doing a camp on short notice, it makes everything else suffer.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I went to Michigan State because a coach I was being recruited by told me if I go to Michigan State, I wouldn't start. I didn't like the boundaries he put on me. He was probably trying to look out for my best interests, but at the time I took it kind of personal. Not only did I start, but I made captain.

Sometimes it doesn't always say Niagara Falls there, but you better believe, I represent Niagara Falls every time I step in the octagon.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
And at the end of the day as an athlete you have to be coachable. And being coachable is a humbling thing.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I was just so rambunctious as a little kid. It started because I hung out with my older brothers and their friends. I always had to fight to prove I was tough.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I pretty much focus on all the main styles out there, karate, wrestling, boxing, jiujitsu, just pretty much anything within MMA.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I had just graduated from Michigan State and I was working at a hospital. I was a security guard, I worked at night. Part of my job was putting bodies in the morgue and doing that kind of thing. I used to put bodies in the morgue and take them out. When I got done doing that at the hospital, in the morning I would work out before I went to sleep.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Jon has always been able to start off at a certain pace but then pick it up throughout the fight and then, at the end of the fight, his opponents are like, 'Damn, this guy is at another level.' I think that's what makes Jon Jones, Jon Jones.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
It's good to be able to feel appreciated and to be able to know that your efforts and the impact in the sport meant something.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
It was really difficult being away from MMA because it's been a way of life for me for 13 years. But being on the outside and coaching helps you sharpen your skills because you have to explain what you do, why things work and why other things don't.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I kind of did mixed martial arts as a hobby. At the time I was actually wanting to become a police officer as I was working in a hospital as a security job in Michigan. It was something I did in my off time.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Working at the hospital, there was a lot of starchy food. I was in good with the lunch lady, so she would hook me up with all kinds of macaroni and cheese and potatoes and that kind of food. I would eat it all night to the part where I hated food. I got pretty big.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I feel like I can beat Jon Jones. I see some things in his game that I can capitalize on.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
The hardest thing in the world is to watch someone you love really not be able to get themselves together and really struggle on a level so bad when it seems and it appears that they have it all.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I've had some real hard setbacks in this sport and I learned to realize that you can't really build who you are on what people say. That's ultimately building your foundation in sand.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I really worked hard to get myself in shape, just from a physical standpoint when you're able to bring your body down and have the discipline to get into shape the way I was, it's really a spiritual journey as well.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
For the last 14 years or so, I've been a fighter for so long I kind of forgot what it's like to not have this as my biggest form of expression of who I am.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
If you're not chasing gold, you're not really in a place where you should be competing.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I took so many years off my fighting career arguing with Dana, trying to get a fight with Shogun Rua, not trying to fight this guy, trying to do all this stuff. At the end of the day, it didn't really matter much. I just lost time.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
One thing you understand quickly as a fighter is that you're not punching with eight or 10 oz. Gloves. We've got 4 oz. gloves. It only takes one good shot for a fight to be over.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
My momma told me a long time ago, 'not everybody has to like you.' And it's very true. I'm ok with that.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
All the losses that I had, I think they were important, just because it helped me grow as a fighter, helped me grow as a person.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Having a chance to fight for a title is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and I consider myself to be very lucky that I got two chances.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
You've got so many guys coming up and putting in work, and everybody wants to be in my position, so I gotta be paranoid and think that if I'm not producing, if I'm not going out there and winning fights and winning impressively, I'm gonna be replaced.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I never want to get content. I never want to think that I'm at a certain spot and I'm gonna stay there, because this organization's hard to stay in, and this is the wrong place to get complacent in.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
How many other people get a chance to be remembered forever? And that's what I really want. I want to be remembered forever.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I come from nothing. Growing up I didn't really have too much, and I can tap into that anytime that I want to and just remember how bad things were for me growing up and just knowing that I never want to go back there and I don't want my kids to go through it.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I'm not really too worried about the mystique of Jon Jones. Because I know Jon Jones' core. I remember when Jon Jones used to come up to me and say, 'Hey man, what's it like when everybody wants to take pictures with you?' So I know Jon Jones.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
If you grow up with a wrestling coach, you learn differently. If you were late, everything was about push-ups and laps around the gym. I once said, 'Am I on a wrestling team or a damn track team?' That resulted in me running for the entire practice. It gives you a certain mentality.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I'm always interested to watch Chris Leben fight. He just fights from a different place.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
MMA embodies a lot of disciplines of sports with footwork and with football, especially with the punching technique you get the hand and eye coordination.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
When I go in and fight, I'm not the same guy who is sitting in front of you, who is meeting the fans or anything like that. It's like a split personality.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
When I fight, part of the swagger that I had when I used to fight on the street comes out. When I fought on the street, I used to try to embarrass someone for even wanting to fight me.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Money comes and goes. I may make a million dollars, then get a divorce and damn near lose all of it.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Rampage's footwork is atrocious. His boxing is slipping. He doesn't take the fight game seriously.
