“Khamzat's one of the guys, kind of like a McGregor. He wants the attention, so he'll throw out a random tweet here and there, but nothing ever comes of it, right?”
“Usually I have drunk fans and racist fans yelling horrible things out at me as I'm walking to the cage.”
“I'm never a guy that shies away from the tough fights.”
“I was trying to fight Colby and he's the one that turned it down.”
“Khamzat was one of the trolls tweeting Luque knocking me out, so I have no respect for him. I'm down to fight him. That fight would mean a lot to me. To beat a guy like that who everybody thinks is invincible and untouchable.”
“I knew my road would be the hardest road. I knew that nothing would ever be given to me.”
“I'm always just training all year round.”
“I went backwards to fight Sean Brady - an undefeated prospect who they thought was the next big thing, and there were guys ahead of me that didn't have fights.”
“2021 showed that I am a contender.”
“People doubt me so much and they're always looking for excuses to discredit me.”
“I've had my altercations with Sean Strickland, and then seeing him get knocked out, I'll get tagged in stuff and videos of him getting knocked out, and I'm never going to share in that.”
“The guys I fought, so many of them are coming off wins or ranked or coming off winning streaks.”
“I've gone into rematches with guys that have knocked me out and mentally it's different for you and you have to go over this mental hurdle.”
“To me, rankings don't mean anything. It's about hype. It's about who the UFC wants to push and who's that guy?”
“I've made a tremendous amount of sacrifices to get to where I am.”
“I feel like it's huge for me fighting in a predominantly Muslim country.”
“With God, I just put my trust in Him.”
“Yeah, Colby's going to say some outlandish stuff, he's going to get some clickbait out of it, but I don't think he's a pay-per-view draw that Conor McGregor is or Masvidal is. He's not that guy.”
“I think that Gilbert Burns, we've seen him get emotional in there, we've seen him just make it a striking match, we've seen him not fight smart. I think that he does gas a lot.”
“I'm not this guy who was born with this incredible one-punch knockout power and I'm not this 6-foot-6 athletic freak who dominates everyone with God-given skills.”
