I lived in a favela.

Nobody stays young forever.

It doesn't matter who's competing in my division. I don't worry about it.

I've competed for so many years that I can go in there and have fun and do what I love, which is fight and compete.

Chael Sonnen inspired everybody. You go there and call someone out, and you get the fight.

I'm always watching every featherweight that fights in the UFC because we can eventually fight in the future.

I like to stay on my feet and exchange.

When I first fought in the U.S., the size of the crowd was something I was not used to seeing, but you get used to it.

I clear my mind; I don't think about the pressure before a fight. I focus on going in the cage and being successful while doing my job.

I fight for my fans. I love putting on a good show for them, and I feel that they enjoy a good stand-up game.

I can fight Cain Velasquez if they want. It's not up to me, I'm not the matchmaker.

I don't even watch my own fights. If it's not someone from my team or someone I like, I guarantee you that I'll go to the movies with my family instead.

We create difficulties in training, so we never think it's easy.

Even parrots talk. I don't care about what they say.

Every fight is a new fight.

We always try the knockout, but it's hard to get it if the opponent always runs away.

The best is that one that beats everybody. I don't care about the rankings.

We need to know how to handle the criticism.

I want superfights, to challenge other opponents.

Rankings mean nothing. You have to talk trash.

I'm happy that Holloway is the champion. An example, someone who deserved being where he is.

McGregor was never a champion of anything. He defeated the champion and left.

I take much pride in winning. I don't accept losses, so I'm always going after that. The day I lose this fire, I think it's time for us to stop.

I fight for everybody, national and international, no matter where they are. I want to help those athletes. Not only those in the UFC - those that are in the big league and can have a better future - but those in the small promotions and need our help.
