“We have come a long way from the first season of 'The Ultimate Fighter.'”
“I think the reasons I retired stay the same. I don't want to change my style. I can't take a punch like I used to for whatever reason. I've heard all sorts of theories as to why that would happen, but I can't do it.”
“I'd like to have all of my losses back. But it's too late for that.”
“Dancing is a lot lower-impact than ultimate fighting, but it takes a lot longer, and I burn the same amount of calories.”
“Several nutrition companies have approached me over the years to endorse a number of different products. Some worked; some didn't - so I decided to create my own brand.”
“A lot of people are blowing Shogun's fight with Mark Coleman out of proportion. He was coming off an injury, and he gassed early on in his first fight back.”
“If you watch fights cage-side, sometimes different punches look better than others. It's like camera angles. Sometimes some punches look a lot better than they were, and sometimes a solid punch doesn't look good. So it just depends on your angle.”
“Conor McGregor has a big mouth. But I do love the way he fights.”
“Someone said Anderson Silva and GSP would be a $12 million fight. I told people that for $12 million, I'd fight them both right now. At the same time. People took that as 'He's going to fight again.' It was a joke. But if you came up with $12 million, yeah, of course I will fight again.”
“My whole life, I've been training for something, whether it be baseball or football or wrestling or martial arts.”
“I think some of the most important exercises are all the core exercises that you can do to maximize training in certain areas of your body.”
“I was in 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' with Jack Nicholson. That was fun. I think I made, like, $33 or something. I got to miss a whole day of school, and when you're a little kid, that's cool.”
“Supplements have always been a really big part of my training regimen.”
“I eat a balanced diet.”
“I like Glover Teixeira; he's a former training partner.”
“I grew up while I was in college. I learned how to take care of myself. I learned how to prioritize things. I learned how to get things done.”
“I hate hearing in a UFC corner, 'You won the first four rounds; just stay away from him this round.'”
“Mixed martial arts is great, and it's here to stay.”
“I never expected it, but I've gotten paid a lot to do what I love. There are no complaints.”
“I drove motorcycles through college. I didn't have the money to buy a car.”
