The feeling, the sensation behind it is, it's exciting to cherry pick and select and be your own boss and to be in control of your own brand; however, it's a lot of work.

I worked for a big corporation for a decade for the majority of my youth. Now I really like the opportunity to essentially play my music on as many brands and stuff as I can, and Ring of Honor and Impact have been exceptional. They have been exceptional about that; there has been no pushback. It's all lined up exactly how we hoped.

The Rhodes in WWE have a wonderful history. I'm glad they let me go. They are the house that built me, and you never know - I might be there again one day.

I think I was always so resistant to coloring my hair because, you know, when my dad was still alive, it's so easy for a second- or third-generation wrestler to just copy their predecessor. The hardest thing you can do is try and carve out your own legacy.

I work full-time, whether it's on 'All In,' my own show, whether it's Ring of Honor, whether it's New Japan - I make every show.

After a world title run, you can't really call someone else your leader.

In the wrestling world, we say the Judo guys are just the leftover wrestlers that couldn't make the wrestling team.

'Star Wars' is for nerds and virgins.

Everybody's calling me out. Why do you think everybody wants to fight me? I'm the money fight.

The real reason Tyron Woodley doesn't want to fight me is because the last time we were in the gym together, I broke him.

I don't care about people's feelings, and I'm triggering people worldwide.

The guys at Team Alpha Male, they're my friends. I have a lot of respect for those guys.

Brazil is a dump.

I'm not out to please everyone.

My pace alone is unstoppable. No one can keep my pace.

At the end of the day, we're professional prizefighters - stop acting like street thugs. We're not going to fight in the streets.

I've never asked for more money, not one time in my career. I fought Demian Maia for $30,000. The No. 2 guy in the world, I was fighting for $30,000. So I don't care about money.

First off, I don't consider Tyron Woodley a teammate. He trains with Duke Roufus; Roufus is in his corner every fight. He's been doing his training camps at Roufusport. He has an ATT affiliate in St. Louis, but OK, whatever. Just because he branded an ATT so he can make some money, and he had an investor, I don't consider that a teammate.

Super villains and bad guys win in real life.

I'm not just a wrestler anymore. I'm a very well-rounded fighter.

Malki Kawa, he doesn't know what he's doing. He doesn't know how to do business.

I don't train to be an All-American. I train to be the best.

I like fighting, man. I didn't get into this sport not to fight. I enjoy fighting; I actually enjoy getting in the cage.

I'm the ultimate professional.

I'm the only fighter to ever go to the White House and meet with a sitting president.

It's not OK to condone violence because of free speech.

I think that people live in safe spaces these days; they don't want to deal with the controversy and the drama.

You have to have a character; you have to build your character. If you understand the pro wrestling scheme of things, then you understand what the promoting is. These guys are friendly backstage, but as soon as the cameras turn on, it's a whole different story: you become that character.

Every time the UFC offers something, I just take it.

I've trained hundreds of hundreds of rounds of sparring at American Top Team.

I'm a company man. I'll go wherever the UFC wants me to go.

You can't come up and attack someone because of free speech.

It gets a little tough when you're cutting weight to travel all over the place, when you want to focus on really getting yourself ready to peak for your fight.

I was actually born in Sacramento, in Rocklin, which is a suburb of Sacramento. I lived there for the first 8 years of my life.

Ben Askren is a joke. The guy has no skills.

I'm a bad person.

If you have a sleeping disorder, just get TyQuil: Tyron Woodley, the gossip girl.

The division needs a guy like me. It's a bunch of good guys, and I'm the only bad guy in the division. There always has to be a bad guy in every movie.

There's never any issues with Colby 'Chaos' Covington. I always do the right things.

As far as standup goes, I really feel like I can stand and bang and trade with anybody in the game.

I'm always training, whether I'm training my mind, or I'm training my body. I'm always doing something.

I'm in this to be the best fighter in the world, to put on entertaining shows, and to please the fans.

When I fight, people are going to watch me fight. They're not gonna turn the channel to 'Real Housewives of OC' like they will other fighters.

I'm the biggest draw. I do the biggest numbers in this division, and it's not even close. There's a reason all these guys want to fight me. They don't want to fight Tyron Woodley. Because I'm the biggest fight and the biggest draw in the division.

Usman's a scrub, man. He's not relevant. No one cares about him. People don't want to see him fight.

Being at American Top Team, I get the best fighters and best trainers in the world.

I don't really feel like rankings mean anything.

I'm looking for three belts. I'm looking to do something that's never been done in this sport. I wanna go down to 155. I wanna go up to 185 and take the belt.

I'd love to go to Russia and silence that crowd and give the Russian fans something to cry about.

Robert Whittaker hasn't been that impressive. He got knocked out by choir boy Stephen Thompson.
