Everybody wants to come out here and test my cardio but I'm one of the hardest working guys in the division.

I'm a smart guy, I like to think of myself as a smart guy, but sometimes I go out there and do a lot of dumb stuff.

I like to be aggressive, I like to finish fights.

I still wanna keep my aggressive ways and let my skills be on display.

No disrespect to Whittaker, I know I can beat him.

If I hit anybody with that left hook, they're going down.

When you have a fighter who's been punched a lot and been knocked out a lot of times, they're not going to be able to recover. They're going to look like they were knocked out.

The fans want to see more. They're there to see fights, they want to see more, they want to see people get put unconscious, whatever. But you can't get put in those spots.

Anderson's been here the longest, he brought our sport to the forefront. He's been around, and yeah, I've always been a fan and I've always enjoyed his fighting style.

I want to have a big year. A big year, big fights, big contract, big money, big everything. 2017 is definitely my year.

Dream fights are just what fans are talking about. We need to see fights that people are actually supposed to see.

I've changed up my training over the years; I don't lift weights as much as I used to, so I'm built for the cardio now.

I'm a firm believer that I'll make fights happen, get the fights done.

The UFC is where the best in the world fight at. You got some of the best fighters all across the world. It's the top organization.

Uriah Hall is on the level of Anderson Silva's striking.

Uriah Hall is just a dynamic striker. He mixes it up well on his feet, that's where I expect him to be good at.

I messed up my eyes. It's funny, I was training and we thought I had a mild concussion. But you know, I was out in Albuquerque and I would train from 9:30 to 11:00 and then I would rest all day long until 5:00 and I'd be playing on my phone, so I was playing on my phone and it scrambled my fore-vision.

I've always been a clean fighter, always lifting weights.

I've got good jiu-jitsu skills, good wrestling, good ground and pound, good power on my feet, good strikes.

I'm not like hurting by any means, but I'm not really, you know, let me say, I'm not really cool with doing fighting just to break even.

When I grab guys in the clinch, it's very tough for them to get away and I'm pretty good with my Greco takedown.

They want to lube their body up really good to make it hard to grab hold; Anderson did a great job defending my takedowns. It's because he was all greased up, so he was able to stop a lot of them.

There won't be a day when I stop working to be a better version of myself, so I'm going to keep working and I will get better.

When I put my helmet on, I'm ultra competitive, talking trash.

It's the same mindset I had in college. As long as I come in and work every day, it worked in college and I'm just going to continue to grind my tail off here in the NFL.

I want to be perfect at everything, knowing I'll never be perfect at it, but that's my goal.

When things are tough in training camp; when things are tough in season; when it's good, you don't want guys hitting too high or too low or depressed. It's just draining for everybody.

It makes you hungry every time you see another team celebrate a championship.

The best thing that you can do is show up every day and give it everything that you have, because anything outside of that is out of your control.

I just want to win. I want to mess up the draft. I don't want the first pick.

My only focus was to be the best version of myself.

I believe God gave me talent to play this game, and I'd be sacrificing those gifts if I didn't give my best every single day.

For me, if I didn't have my faith, the game gives you a lot of highs and a lot of lows.

Too many times I see kids come up to me, especially at the high school age, and say, 'Man, it would be cool to play in the NFL just because of the money.' And I'm like, 'Oh my goodness, you are missing everything, because money is not going to make you happy.'

I just want to be someone who loves his family more than he loves to drink.

I'm a Raider for life.

At any moment, any second, my football career could be taken away, but my faith and relationship with God will never be taken from me.

The game has slowed down for me. It's so much easier than it was. I feel like I see things better, and I can take advantage of what I see.

I love Raider Nation. There's nothing like it.

I still think having an older brother in the NFL is the coolest thing ever. But to see how it went down is sad.

Obviously it's hard to lose a coach; that's not fun for anybody because you care about him and you have a relationship with him. But as players, we just have to keep moving on.

If we win every game, that's all I care about.

Let's go fix problems that I have and let's do what I need to do to win championships.

I broke my back, I broke my ankle. I didn't cry then.

I'm very much into legacies.

When I got to college, my coach let me handle everything, from calling the plays to changing protections to checking in the run game. He let me do absolutely everything at the line.

Everyone knows with a rookie, you're going to take lumps. Even with a first-, second-, third-year guy, you're going to take lumps until you gain that experience. But for me, it was nice to get out there and get the experience and do it. I'm a guy that has to do it.

I had a whole bunch of things I knew I needed to work on from self-scouting. I knew on certain routes what I needed to do and ways to use my eyes and shoulders and manipulate coverage.

I don't really like the business side of football, but I just like adding good players to our football team.

There's a lot of people out there who don't love football, and I don't want anything to do with those guys.
