I know I'm the greatest, and like I said, I ain't here to be average. I always wanted to stick out as a sore thumb, so that's what I'm doing. It's just confidence.

Us Hawaiians - I'm Hawaiian-Samoan. I love to eat. I want to go for four titles: 155, 170, 185; they all can get it.

It's super easy to do what Conor does. He earned something. Then, he looks over the fence - he looks for something new - and it's very easy to be motivated for something new.

I'm here in the present, and I want to make sure I don't stumble on my own feet.

These guys are playing checkers. I'm out here playing chess. When they figure it out, it's too late.

It's what kings do. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best.

You got to keep your feet on the ground, and it is what it is.

I got to fight the greatest-of-all-time in my weight division - not once but twice. I was watching this guy when I was 16 years old when I first started kickboxing. I wanted to fight Aldo in a kickboxing match. A couple years later, I came to MMA and wanted to fight him. 10 years later, I got to fight the man twice.

You want to be a part of the big card. You want to be part of history.

I'm not going to change me just for some extra money.

I'll do what I like. It's my own life.

I ain't trying to run away from no danger. If it's supposed to be dangerous for me, then I'm going to go and take a peek. I want to go and look and see what's so dangerous about it.

When I was finishing guys, the media was on me like crazy.

If you want to fight the best, you come fight Blessed.

Every time I go in, me and my time, we're 0-0, and we're looking to become 1-0.

I just want to be dominant.

When I start running my mouth, I start running facts. I start giving guys numbers. I start giving guys ideas of where I come from and where I work.

I'm a true believer in, people only remember you for your last fight.

I'm a family guy, I've got a beautiful wife, a beautiful son, and I couldn't be happier.

Anybody and everybody's going to get it. I'm not racing through my division. I'm cleaning it out. So if you want two L's, you're going to get two L's, and if you're looking for one, come fight 'Blessed.'

I'm not going to get mad over something that I have no control over.

You've got to believe in your damn self and do the damn thing, so I'm a big believer in self-belief, man, and going out there and working hard and sacrificing.

Too many cry babies in this game.

I think the UFC does a pretty good job of backing me.

There's ways to get the right nutrients and eat the food you want and have it taste great.

The obvious thing is I would love to fight Conor McGregor. We've got some history there, and he won, and people saying he didn't knock me out because of an injury he had. I was injured in the fight, too, so let's test that theory. I want to test that theory.

I don't believe in guys waiting for title shots.

I grew up in front of everyone's eyes in the UFC.

When a bully pulls your hair, you punch him in the face.

People keep saying Aldo deserves this, he deserves that - how the hell do you deserve something when you pulled out of all these events?

Before Mendes got suspended, I've been calling out Chad Mendes.

I don't take that away from Conor, that he beat Chad Mendes on short notice. Chad took that fight knowing he had a chance to beat Conor, so that's Chad's fault he took that fight.

I want McGregor-Holloway 2.

That's all I ask the UFC to do: keep me active.

If I want to fight for a 155-pound title - if I hold the 145-pound title - give me the fight.

People always say, 'I want to be the best fighter in the world.' That's why I respect Conor. He said he wants to be the best fighter in the world, and he's trying to prove it.

I don't want money fights. I want to get paid, and like I said, I want to defend my throne.

Everybody can get it. I'm here; I want to fight everyone.

It's hard to go out there and protect something that you earned.

I want to be a champion. I want to be a long-reigning featherweight champion. I want to be known in the history books: my name everywhere as a champion. And then, later on in my career, when I start getting good, then I can start doing the exhibition matches for money and stuff.

I understand; I can see it from two ways: people trying to get that money and leave the game early and people trying to set history or whatever.

I'm a human just like anyone else, and I understand that, so at the end of the day, you've got to stay humble.

I state facts all the time.

At the end of the day, I'm the king. I'm in my throne, you know? If you want to come see me, come see me.

I want to defend my throne. All my fans know. They love me. I want to defend this; I want to be a champ and keep defending. Come try to take over my village.

I ain't going to chase someone around. I ain't going to talk about someone that ain't talking about me.

I ain't asking no one to fight. I've got my throne. If you want it, come see me.

Everyone wants drama. Everyone is living for drama.

You either grow with this sport, or you get left behind. It's sad, but it is what it is. You gotta keep up with this sport.

The way I look at it, if you're the best in the world, you fight the best in the world anywhere, anytime.
