I will do my best all the time.

God gave me the power. God showed me the way. He helps me and gives me support and it's my job to get that message out.

I'm a professional fighter. My game plan is to fight standing up and to fight on the ground.

The future belongs to God.

Will Brooks is a very tough guy. He's an ex-champ and beat very tough guys. The same way I fought very tough guys.

I fought Swanson when I was injured and I shouldn't have but I wanted to.

If I see an opening, I'll go for the submission.

I was a child among the lions. Now I want to be one of those lions.

It felt amazing to walk out and hear the energy of the crowd here in Chicago.

I came to the UFC to make history.

I never asked for bonuses inside the octagon, I always focused on winning.

I asked for a tough fight, and I'm very excited to fight such a good fighter and a former champion like Frankie Edgar.

Featherweight is my division.

I like to stay busy!

If I could I would fight every week.

When I get in the cage I am smiling because I am having fun.

Sometimes at 155 pounds I was the smaller fighter, at 145 pounds I am more often the bigger fighter, and the taller fighter.

You do have to fight different when you might have to fight three times in one night. I really like fighting just one time a night, this lets you do more things.

The Brazilian circuit is very different. There are no easy fights, every gym only puts in their best guys to fight.

I have fun when I fight, and I am going to have a lot of crazy moves.

I do not think UFC gives wrestling of the night bonus.

My job is to fight. I make money by fighting - that's how I provide to my daughter.

It's easy to enter the UFC, but staying there isn't.

To stay in the UFC while fighting top opponents... tell me one easy fight I had in the UFC. I have a history in the UFC.

There are guys that just entered the UFC and people already talk about fighting for the belt. Guys that have one fight there and say call a jiu-jitsu phenom. They haven't done anything in the UFC yet to deserve all that attention.

I would really like fight in Uruguay.

I come from the favelas, I'm grounded.

In my first interview in the UFC, I asked them to throw me among the lions. I wanted to fight the best, and that's what the UFC did. Ex-champions, future champions - that's what I wanted.

If someone ever says I had an easy fight in the UFC, they are lying.

I think the only thing that happened when I fought Jim Miller is that I was a just kid, he had way more experience. I was winning the fight, landing punches and trying to get 10 submissions at the same time, and Jim Miller went for one attack only, a kneebar, and got it. His experience made the difference.

Jim Miller is an important fight for me. It's just like any other fight, but it's important for me because Jim Miller was the first guy to defeat me.

I think Kevin Lee is an excellent fighter who fights well on the feet, has evolved in that area, but his strongest weapon is wrestling, not jiu-jitsu.

The only thing Kevin Lee does better than me is talk and sell fights like that. I sell fights my own way, inside the cage.

When Kevin Lee's name was brought up, I told everyone I thought this fight would happen. This is a good fight for me. It surprised me because nobody wants to fight in Brazil.

My jiu-jitsu is very simple and basic.

I work on armbars, triangles, anaconda chokes, guillotines and rear-naked chokes. Basic, simple stuff. I just wanna go there and win the fight, I don't wanna invent too much and try doing fancy things.

Rear-naked chokes are easy? Yeah, it's easy to get, but people are getting better at defending it.

Man, jiu-jitsu is such a chess match.

I'm a legend now. But I'll keep my feet on the ground.

I'll fight anyone. I've never turned down a fight in the UFC, and I'm here to fight.

I ended up moving up to lightweight, which I didn't want, and fought a really tough guy, Will Brooks, and beat him like nothing.

I had no easy fights ever since I joined the UFC.

I'm almost certain that no one at featherweight or lightweight wants to go to the ground with me.

Everything in life has its perfect moments.

I always come in different. A different Charles comes in every time. A Charles that wants to fight and win and become the champion.

I would fight McGregor in any weight, no problem. It would be a good fight, I'd really like to fight him.

What matters the most to me is breaking into the top-10.

Stop messing around sending me unranked fighters. I want someone ranked, someone that will take me closer to my goal, which is to become champion.

A fight is a fight and anything can happen.

I believe everybody feels better when they don't cut too much weight.
