I would have to say fantasy RPG and MMOs are my favorite type of games. I love 'Dark Souls II.' That game is so hard and unforgiving; if you beat that game, you have true skills.

I saw Bobby Green and Lando Vannata, and everybody in the back was like, 'Oh, man, that's a sick fight!' And I'm like, 'Dude, look at his face, that cannot be good for his brain.' I'm just honest.

I'm very well-rounded. It's mixed martial arts.

I come from one of the great coaches - Matt Hume, Brad Kertson - and my skill set is well-rounded.

Obviously I'd love to see Demetrious Johnson, you know, 'Demetrious Johnson $500,000 payout baby,' absolutely.

I never cared who I was going to fight because, at the end of the day, it makes no difference.

I focus on staying healthy, going to the gym, and I go out there and fight.

There are things - I want to compete in a big tournament, like an eight-man tournament, like the old fighters. You're going to compete; you're going to fight this one and this one.

I don't need to tell any one of you guys that I can do what I can do. I'll just show it to you guys, and if you want a little sneak peak, come watch me work out. That's how I do my thing.

Honestly, I would love to fight Henry Cejudo. You've got that gold medalist in the Olympics, I would love to test myself against that.

At one point in time in my career, it was like, 'Oh, he never finishes nobody.' Then, the next thing you know, I'm breaking peoples' arms, making them tap out, and knocking them out. Then, the next thing you know, it's, 'Oh, I don't like his personality.' It's like, 'Okay, well, if you don't like who I am, I can't help you there, buddy.'

You look into an encyclopedia and ask what fighter can do any type of martial art at a high-caliber level, my picture will show up.

If you want to see great mixed martial arts, tune in when I fight. If you want to see drama and all of that stuff, you guys can go watch 'Bachelors in Paradise.' They'll give you enough drama you can want to watch.

I really, truly appreciate Conor McGregor's style - his fighting style and the way he talks. The reason why is because he reminds me of a young Mike Tyson, a young Muhammad Ali, the way he talks.

Truly, I am not afraid of one man in this whole UFC Octagon roster. I truly don't care. What's the worst thing that's going to happen to me? I lose. I get knocked out?

Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the land; I'm the fastest man in mixed martial arts.

I'm not looking for people to put that vote on me to be prom king of the UFC.

I don't bash my company. I don't bash my opponents. I don't miss weight.

In wrestling, when I was in high school, my coach said you should be able to hit every single move from any position. So, arm drag to double-leg, snap-down to double-leg. You should be able to hit a move from anywhere, so with my armbar, I can essentially hit it from any position because it's my favorite submission.

I'm not in the business to get hit and take concussions.

In the beginning of your mixed martial arts career, you're not making good money.

If I went up there and beat T.J. Dillashaw at 135 pounds, I have no interest whatsoever in staying at 135. People are like, 'Why not?' and I'm like, 'I have no interest in fighting guys who walk around at 160 pounds.'

At the end of the day, UFC is a business.

If you're going to make as much money as you are, when you're fighting someone else, that's the one thing I always tell people is I would never turn down the truly rightful No. 1 contender in my division, because the UFC can actually strip you. They can say, 'You're not going to fight the No. 1 contender. We can strip you.'

I don't care about being the champ champ. I want to be the only consecutive 12-time defending champion in any mixed martial arts promotion.

The first time I saw a commercial for my fight was UFC 210.

I'm a black-and-white type of dude. If you say something, I believe you're gonna do it.

A lot of people might sit back and watch Dominick Cruz doing his footwork, and say, 'Oh, Dominick Cruz just dancing around, and he runs away.' It's a totally different atmosphere until you get in there, and you actually experience it.

I've knocked people out from the clinch. I've submitted people from armbars, Kimura, last-second armbars. I've knocked people out with one-hand punch.

There's money to be made, and I want mine.

Coaching 'The Ultimate Fighter' in my weight class, I couldn't do it. I'd basically be coaching people to beat me. I'm going to give you my riddle?

I take care of Demetrious Johnson, and the UFC takes care of themselves. That's nothing against the UFC; they're a well-oiled machine. They do an amazing job at advertising and making stars.

All I can do is make sure Demetrious Johnson does the best he can on fight night and goes out and wins his fights.

The first time I fought Ian McCall, I cut carbs completely out of my diet all through training camp. I was afraid I wasn't going to make weight, that I'd get on the scale, and it would be all, 'He weighs 128,' and the people would throw cabbage at me. I basically cut all carbs on the diet, just eat chicken and greens all the time.

You can tell MMA is a carb sport because it's fast; it's explosive. It's not a fat storage sport.

My wife is very supportive.

Before there was a Ronda Rousey, there was a Gina Carano and Cris Cyborg. They finally fought, and we found out who was the baddest woman on the planet, and that was Cris Cyborg. When she hits people, I'm like, 'Whoo!'

In my mind, there's more to life than just fighting. That's just how I am.

When I'm done my mixed martial arts career, the only people who are gonna remember me and respect what I did and how I lived my life are my two children. That's my legacy, ladies and gentlemen.

I love fighting for the UFC. It's an amazing company. I've done a lot of great things, and they've done a lot of great things for my career.

One of the things I always tell people is that when it comes to fighting and fight week, then I'm there for one purpose, and that's to fight and get the hell out of dodge.

That's kind of how I see my workmanship: it's how many hours I put in that makes me better.

If somebody goes, 'You should go to 135,' my heart's just not into it.

They'll always find somebody for me to fight. Whether I win or lose, they'll find somebody to fight, and I'll compete. I'll make money, and I'll pay my bills.

I think 15 to 18 title defenses is something that would be in the record books forever.

I guess I'm bothered by how fans react to certain things and how they're interested in certain things over true talent. I've always appreciated talent over everything else.

I know why the UFC runs the business the way they do. I know why Conor McGregor makes a base pay of $3 million. But I think I justify my pay with my skill set, and I've always been willing to promote my brand.

For every champion, after you win the belt, you want to defend it as many times as possible.

I'm never going to turn down a fight.

I believe me being married, having a life outside of fighting, gives me a mental break.
