“As long as my friends and family know who I am, I sleep well at night.”
“Glover is a brawler.”
“When I was fighting at 170 I thought everybody was big. At the same time, I don't see guys as being too big for me as long as I can see them eye-to-eye.”
“You make a mistake, you better hope I wasn't paying attention and didn't see it, but if I catch you doing it and you think I'm not paying attention, then that's when you get in trouble.”
“You win some, you lose some; it's all about can you bounce back.”
“When you face a guy like Nogueira, you think, 'OK, this is about to be a battle,' because the last name Nogueira means a lot.”
“I've been working hard. I'm working on my wrestling, grappling more and I'm always working on my cardio.”
“It wasn't that I didn't think I could hang with the guys at 185 or 205. I just thought I'd be the more dominant guy at 170. I'm not afraid of anybody in any weight class. That has never been an issue.”
“I was sitting around bored one day and was thinking of a name that would fit me. They have 'Cabbage,' 'Rampage,' 'Shogun,' and 'Ninja' so why can't we have a 'Rumble?'”
“I definitely want to give the fans what they want to see.”
“Going down to 170 was hell. But if I hadn't fought at 170, people wouldn't know who Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson is.”
“I got fat but I was happy.”
“If I see an opening, I go for it.”
“I don't take anybody for granted, but I see myself beating each and every fighter that I face.”
“I'm trained to fight, not chase people around.”
“I don't know what I'm painted as. I can be happy as hell and then someone says something and I feel different. People are going to say whatever they want to say to... get people to read their story. I just ask people to write the whole, complete story.”
“Things happen all the time and nothing ever goes the way you truly planned.”
“I learned you can't control everything. You've got to roll with the dice sometimes.”
“I like all sports, even golf.”
“I just enjoy my life, go with the flow and spend time with the people that I love.”
