There's so much talent in Brazil, so many guys that will probably never get discovered.

I wouldn't change the past for nothing.

I love to travel and I love to teach, so I combined the two.

Like when I fought Akebono - six foot eight, 490 pounds. Before the fight, everyone's like 'Man, you're crazy. You're out of your mind. How are you going to fight a guy that big, there's no way you can take him down. You cannot punch him out. You're out of your mind.' After the fight, everybody was like 'Oh come on, he's big and fat.' Really?

Everyone wants to fight me. It's a long list.

Tim Kennedy is one of the toughest guys in my opinion.

You tell me what's impossible and I'll prove you wrong.

Face life's challenges with confidence, dare to pursue your dreams and live to the fullest just as my father did.

Gracie is not a family, it's a factory of fighters.

When Scott Coker first mentioned to me that Ken Shamrock wanted to fight I said, 'Thank you.' I played a little hard to get, but for sure I knew we had to do the third fight with Ken; there was no doubt. He still insisted on fighting me. I guess the guy cannot sleep for 22 years.

I follow a very strict diet.

My brother, who created the UFC, had a vision. He knew that people wanted to see who was the best fighter. People have curiosity, what style was the best? Boxing, wrestling, Gracie jiujitsu? It was a quest to find out.

I travel all over the world and teach people.

I never drank, never party, Carnival, none of that.

I live a very healthy lifestyle.

My father didn't make us fighters, he made us teachers.

I'm a MMA fighter, man. I'm a MMA fighter, all the way.

Werdum is good, is a smart fighter. He knows how to set up a beautiful strategy.

If I had doubts, I would've never walked into the ring.

If Teila Tuli won the first UFC, everybody would have been learning sumo.

I believe in pure jiu-jitsu. That's what I've done in the past.

That's why I like Demian Maia and Fabricio Werdum. Demian will take you down and do his game. Werdum learned the stand-up to know what's coming, but he never stopped using his jiu-jitsu. He will clinch, take you down and submit you.

You know the 80s music is something that no one wants to admit liking, but once then start playing everyone is into it.

Bellator and Viacom want to give fans exciting fights and enable fighters to continue to grow and most importantly provide for their family, and it's something I want to be a part of.

Wouldn't you love to see Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield go one more time? It's not like just one of them has aged. They've both aged. They're both icons.

I did a seminar once in Pennsylvania when there was big snow, road construction, a big flood and just one person showed up. I said, 'No problem, I'll do it.' If there's one or 100 on the mat, the juice is still there.

I'm a fighter. We come from the beginning, no gloves, no rules, no time limits.

The art of Gracie jiu-jitsu is to learn how to defend yourself in any situation, not to score points, not for tournament style. It's for a street-fight situation.

I am a product of my father's work.

I get stopped at the airports by just everyday people that are not even fans of the MMA and they say how they have seen me fight. Its very humbling and also rewarding.

My Jiu Jitsu is with the gi. It's the real style of Jiu Jitsu, it's with the gi and I fight MMA.

Do this rubber guard stuff and I'll punch you in the nose.

Yes, I do Jiu Jitsu for a living.

The greatest tribute you can to pay to my father is to continue to train and share Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, remembering to never lose sight of the fact that what you do off the matt counts more than what you do on the matt.

I don't drink, I don't smoke.

My father created this whole MMA thing.

I've never had a fight in the street.

I fight because I want to not because I have to.

I take all the opportunities that come my way and I am thankful that I have them.

I'm a vale-tudo fighter.

I'm not a fighter to score points of fight with time limit.

GSP knows how to use a lot of strategy.

I like guys who can use strategy, not just tough guys.

GSP is at the top of my list in knowing how to use strategy, how to bring an opponent out of his game, how to beat a guy without taking a beating. And he's good in standup and good at grappling.

Demian Maia, I love the way he fights.

Oriental reality is called ideology in Europe and America, and Western ideology is called reality in the Orient. Those viewpoints eat into people's souls and form two distinct kinds of beings.

In earthly life, a person can conceal whether evil or good is active in his soul. After death, this is no longer possible. The spirit form presents after death the physiognomical expression of what the person was on earth.

By immersing ourselves with our consciousness in a supersensible world, we now learn a new kind of thinking, a new life of mental pictures, one that is not dependent on the nervous system in the way ordinary thinking is. We know that previously we have had to make use of our nervous system, but now we no longer need our brain.

All things which have a directing force here in the physical world cease to exist when one arrives in the imaginative world. If, on the physical plane, you imagine yourself to have done something you actually have not done, you will soon be persuaded by the facts of the physical world that this is not so. This is not the case in astral space.

When we project the specific organization of the human body into the space outside it, then we have architecture.
