“I don't hang my championship trophies on the walls, because they don't pay the bills.”
“Looking at me now, it might be hard to believe that I didn't even have hair in my armpits when I graduated from high school. I guarantee you I was the last guy to go through puberty in my class.”
“I'm always staying motivated because, as training camp goes on, practices become more intense, harder, and shorter. It's a mental thing, too, not only physical - you have to stay mentally sharp and stay focused on the task in front of you.”
“If I can't outplay you in football, I'm gonna fight ya.”
“There are lots of risks, but without risks, there's no reward. I think the reward is bigger than the risk.”
“I've never come out and said, 'I hold the most pay-per-view buys.' All I know is what I got paid, and I'm happy.”
“I don't want to ever intentionally hurt someone, because it is pure entertainment.”
“I was a true wrestler. I was a Division I national champion. I came into the business wanting one thing and one thing only, and that was to be the champion, and I wasn't going to let anybody stand in my way. I think there was one guy that had a problem with that, and that was Undertaker.”
“Never been in the habit to look back.”
“You get so brainwashed. You're on the road 300 days a year, and that's why guys get so messed up. This life becomes a part of them. It's not real, but some guys who are still in the business think it is.”
“I felt like I was cheated out of my career in the UFC. In my mind and in my heart, I never lost to a foe. I never lost to an opponent. I lost to diverticulitis. That was my opponent that beat me. A lot of other people might have other thoughts about that.”
“I know of Conor McGregor. This sport has evolved even from when I first entered the octagon. I think people are finding out that you have to talk the talk, and you have to - more importantly, you have to walk the walk.”
“I was always fascinated by strength. Arnold was an idol of mine.”
“My hands. I'm constantly working on my hands. I'm constantly working on my ground game and constantly trying not to get satisfied with where I'm at with my career and where I'm at as an athlete. I'm somewhat happy, but never satisfied.”
“I had a great run with WWE. WWE gave me great visibility. I met my wife there, and I got paid a lot of money; it was just my time to go. I sensed it. I was smart enough to leave. That's the bottom line.”
“I've never turned down a fight in the UFC. Even when I was champ, I never turned down a fight.”
“I'm a prize fighter. Titles don't pay bills. I fight for money. I'm making money. They're making money. Everybody's making money. That's what this is all about.”
“I don't need anything to get me up at the gym other than 'Metallica' and 'AC/DC'.”
“I'm a big believer in living out your dreams and facing your fears.”
“I am a private guy, and at the end of the day, I only really do care about my family. That's the most important thing: my way of life, my family. Whoever is in front of that is going to get hurt.”
