As a cricketer - or any sportsperson, for that matter - you like yourself to be tested and get better all the time.

For anybody, faith and belief are everything you have. Nobody gave me the India cap; nobody taught me to go and get runs. It's a belief I had in myself.

I have always liked to attack the bowlers, and batting is all about getting runs.

I am not someone who likes to be in the dressing room and waste time; I like to be on the field all the time and be counted. That is how I am.

I just enjoy batting, scoring runs, and contributing for my team.

What I want is to leave this sport as champion. I want to be the only featherweight champion. That's when I'll leave the sport.

I don't want to fight until I'm 40. I don't even know if I'll get to 35.

I've never had any fear in my entire career.

Every time I step in the Octagon, I always try to finish.

We get paid way less than we deserve. We deliver shows and deserve to get paid more. We practically pay to do this. You deserve to get better paid if you sell the fight.

You have to be good wherever the fight goes, and that's how I try to be.

I have to respect my opponent, always, doesn't matter who he is, but I'll get in there and win. That's a fact.

I've been in many wars already.

No matter what happens, I will always be the champion.

The UFC makes 80, and athletes make 20. That's what happens. That's the real story.

I focus on myself, and I train for myself.

As long as I fight for myself, I will stay champion.

Aldo is one guy. Barao is another one. We're friends, we're teammates, but it's a fight. Each one will defend his name.

Featherweight division is one of the most complicated and tough classes in UFC.

I watch my diet and I eat right, but I am not on a strict diet.

I don't cut weight, so it's no problem for me to fight at lightweight.

I've fought in front of thousands of people and never responded to the crowd. I got there, did my job, and left.

Every time I'm in there, that's the best Aldo possible.

Pressure is nothing. It's part of the job.
