Everyone's got an opinion, and not all of them are good ones.

Sometimes spectacular things look really great, but when push comes to shove come fifth round, the basics, fundamentals and technical aspects are going to come into effect.

Even when you lose, you get better. Sometimes when you lose, you win.

Sometimes when you are winning, you don't see your flaws; you don't see what you are not good at.

I don't really think about or pay any mind to what everyone thinks about my fighting style or if they watch me fight; I just concentrate on myself.

It's nice that fans want to see me fight. It definitely helps and gets everyone excited. It gets the UFC excited, and they are quick to put me back in there. But I really just focus on myself and getting ready to fight.

I focus on making sure I'm sharp, and it doesn't matter who I am fighting. I need to perform at my best and try to elevate my game to the highest level I possibly can, so that is what I concentrate on doing.

I've always loved to fight. I love what I do, and that is why I've been doing it for so long. I really enjoy fighting and competing at a high level. I love getting in there and getting after it.

I always believed in myself, and even in the bad times, when I'd do bits of greatness here and there, it was those kinds of things that kept me alive and helped me to get to where I am now.

Adidas is one of the biggest companies in the world. To have a company like that, a mainstream company, a major sports company, to say they want me, it's awesome.

No one ever wants fight of the night. Every fight I've gone in, I want knockout of the night. I want to be in and out quick. Sometimes, these guys just have a lot of grit - they're highly trained, and I just can't get them out of there, so I get fight of the night.

Winning fires me up.

I think people appreciate that I've been around so long, and I never gave up on myself and just kept grinding, and eventually I made it to the top.

When St-Pierre retired, it brought a lot of enthusiasm to the weight class, and things got shook up.

I don't like going to decisions. I always try to finish people, knock them out, beat them up, and that's always the game plan.

It's all about being sharp and not taking too much damage. That's always the game plan.

I don't worry about who they're putting in front of me. Why would I? That's just nonsense for me to waste my energy.

My coaches do all the breakdowns of my opponents, and I leave that up to them.

Woodley has tremendous athleticism, brings a lot of technique - well-rounded fighter.

Everyone's out there trying to take what's mine, and they're going to have to fight me for it.

To take what I have, they're going to have to have more than skill and technique. It's a lot of heart, a lot of determination. That's just who I am. I'm not messing around out there. I'm not giving it away.

Every day, I need to get better. I need to get stronger. I need to get faster.

I want to go out there and be clean in my performances and showcase great knockouts.

It has never been a motivation thing. I'm a fighter. I always show up and give it my all.

In college, I tried to start wrestling as soon as I could and when it was available to me, as I loved competing, and then got into MMA under Pat Miletich, where I was able to sharpen all my skills and develop into a true fighter.

The basics win fights.

I only know I feel good when I fight.

I was a huge Mike Tyson fan, would sit through the night watching boxing matches and would hit the bag at every opportunity I would get.

I worry about myself in the ring; I worry about what I can do and how I can dictate a fight.

There wasn't much money in this sport when I started, but I didn't get into it because of money. I loved to fight, and I loved MMA.

I don't know what the fans expect out of these fighters, but I know what I expect out of myself. And that's go out there, beat people up, and just be me.

I think fans expect fighters to beat each other up, and what I expect out of myself is to stay of trouble.

I can see that I can be a role model.

Everyone likes different things. Not everyone's the same. Not everyone runs their mouth. Not everyone can fight.

You can only stay at a high level so long before you need to rest your body.

Everybody would rather get a quick submission, a quick knockout.

Trying to get over guys and knock them out, that's what fires me up. Decision victories, whoop dee doo, but finishing guys fires me up.

I want to knock people out.

I've actually done a really good job listening to my body, relaxing. Some days you train hard, some days you rest a little bit.

The best part about being a champion is going out and defending your belt, so that's what I plan on doing and doing it many times.

My coaches and I always stress getting better and working on all aspects, so I'm ready to fight and take it to the next level.

I know you can't fight forever, and there's only so long you can do this.

My techniques are basics, but my willingness to be in the pocket and see things is very high level.

If you look at all aspects of all sports, everything comes down to basics and fundamentals.

I'm going to fight until my body says otherwise.

For me, it's always the same: worrying about how I can get better, the techniques I can do.

I'm tactical, and I have a lot of heart - something that you don't see when you watch a lot of fights.

I think the UFC's done a great job of building the brand, building the UFC, building MMA.

I just want to be a better fighter, plain and simple.

I just worry about myself. I'm just gonna be me and do me. If people appreciate it, cool. If not, I'm gonna still be me.
