“There's a reason I'm where I'm at. Guys like Bobby Green don't train where I'm at. They get weeded out real quick. Guys like Chris Weidman, guys like Aljamain Sterling, guys like myself, don't train where he's at, because we're way too smart for that.”
“I don't like rollercoasters. I don't know if I'm really scared of them, but the feeling I get on rollercoasters, I don't like. If I could conquer rollercoasters, I'd be unstoppable.”

“I want to fight anybody ranked above me.”
