I don't come from this technology world.

A fight is usually longer than five seconds.

I don't want any up-and-coming guys. I want someone that's established already, that's good.

Usually with my opponents, I don't care if they win the lottery or they die.

I'm here to compete and to keep beating people up.

Not that everybody needs to be Georges St-Pierre, but it would be cool if everybody was just themselves.

I used to be a 55er, Conor used to be a 45er. I'm naturally a 70 pounder, Conor's probably a natural 55er. I'm a small 70 pounder though and Conor's a decent-sized 55er so the size is not that much. It's not incomparable.

It's a blessing and a curse. I feel like I've gotta fight every dude that stepped foot on 'The Ultimate Fighter.'

I want to put money away in the bank.

I've never pulled out of a fight.

I want the biggest fight, no matter where it's at.

My body fat at 173 is five percent, so the rest is just straight water that I lose.

When you're up-and-coming in your career, yes, maybe you have to dodge certain guys. 'Hey, my wrestling isn't good yet, let me get it on-point and then I'll come back there,' or, 'I'm not going to fight that guy right now,' because whatever, when you're up-and-coming. But once you're already at the top of your game, you're in there, man. That's it.

I'm not involved in too many wars, where I'm just constantly getting hit, hit, hit.

Man, I never got to fight a ranked opponent at 155, and that wasn't because I wasn't winning.

You guys might not know who Yves Edwards is, if you don't, shame on you, go do some research.

I've got more mat hours than most of the guys who are grapplers got on the mat.

Back in the day, you used to have to fight three or four fights in one night with no dodging nobody, and that's what the sport got built on.

I've been fighting in people's backyards my whole life.

I just like to fight, man. The place doesn't really bother me.

The more I tour the world, the more I see that people are just like me. They love violence.

The bigger the fight, the better.

Nobody has ever wanted - they get forced to fight Yoel. Ask anybody.

A lot of times I went to sleep hungry, and not because I was cutting weight for a fight.

I can box. I can hit hard. I've got different angles.

I grew up in Miami, Florida.

I do not want to fight Woodley because we're cool. We've worked out so much together, and he's looked out for me in the past with certain hookups that he had at the time. So I don't want to fight that dude.

I didn't get a lot of questions asked earlier in my career, I guess. But I've always been the same guy, more or less.

It's simple, I'm a fighter, but on top of that I have to entertain the people.

I'm a guy who's in there everyday with world-class grapplers feeling that pressure.

I never think past any man, because every guy has two hands and every dude wants to hurt you.

I'm not going to kill my body, my lifestyle just to go to '55.

Definitely the title, definitely Kamaru Usman interests me.

The things that I rely on, USADA doesn't have a problem with them. I'm gonna continue to be the same athlete that I've always been.

You know I could get hit with a baseball bat and it don't mean nothing.

Dana White, bring me someone that can beat me. You can't find no one that can beat me.

I want to fight the guys that are world-class beaters. That's who I want to get in there with.

I've been fighting professionally since I was 18, and I've been doing three or four fights a year, just doing camp after camp.

I don't want to fight no up-and-coming guy, no guy that's 15-0 but hasn't faced anybody yet.

Askren is that dude I'm not losing in any universe to.

I asked for the toughest, best fights to my management, to my coaches.

I'm not the type of dude who kicks somebody when they're down.

A guy like Anderson Silva is one the greatest champions we've had.

We're already going to fight, we're going to test each other's will. We don't need everybody talking.

Over everything, over friendships or anything, is my kids - and obviously fighting for that belt is my kids' future. It doesn't sound too nice, but if my mom had the belt, she better give it up because my kids gotta eat. If I'm willing to fight my mom, imagine a good friend.

I'm not Ben Askren or a lot of these fighters. I've never called a reporter like, hey, I want to be on your show, book me, you know?

I could sit down and give USADA my opinions on it, but I want to say they've done a great job. Guys like me are shining because of USADA.

Let me make this clear: I think USADA has moved my sport forward in certain ways that I couldn't have imagined.

That's the biggest act of cowardice, faking injuries.

For some reason, that's the title they're giving me: ''The Ultimate Fighter' Destroyer.'
