Cody Garbrandt

“That's why I jumped into the UFC and the fight game to do this, it's to be the greatest.”

“Wrestling was something I did my whole entire life and I think losing the passion for that, I didn't have any drive.”

“I've some investments, I've got good people in my life managing my money.”

“I probably would never fight Urijah for the belt to be honest. It's not going to be a money thing for me that would give me that fight. I've got a lot of respect for him, I really do. A really humble dude, he's been nothing but honest and real to me ever since the first day I met him.”

“T.J.'s not a good person. He's not a good person. He's kind of a generic version of Dominick Cruz.”

“I went from the top of the world 11-0, 25 years old, world champion to a three-fight skid.”

“There's nothing better to challenge yourself against than a heavy-handed striker like John Lineker. But, I mean, he's a brawler. That's it. He's a brawler. He gets sucked into those brawls.”

“The quickest time to rehydrate is right after you're done training, so I'm always carrying these gallons of water to drink, drink, drink so my body can recover faster. And that's a huge part of being able to take damage, by the way. If you're hydrated, your brain is lubricated, you can take bigger shots.”

“My goal is to be the champion of the world, and that's what I'll set myself up to do.”

“Some people look at a loss and it's devastating, it's the end of the world, they go in a downward spiral and they let dirt get piled on them. You just got to brush yourself off. You can't let the dirt bury you.”

“A lot of fighters, Cruz got under their skin. The guy's a dork and he tries to be a bully.”

“You've got to have a short memory in this game, and move forward. Pick yourself up after a loss, and check yourself after a win.”

“I'm a small town kid from Uhrichsville, Ohio.”

“Dominick Cruz can't knock anybody out. He's got grapes for hands.”

“Obviously, if you're able to become a two division world champion - not many are world champions in their life or their career. I have the opportunity to do this.”

“Without fighting, I don't think I would be as happy in this life.”

“I think Jose Aldo is tough, I respect him, but I want to test his chin.”

“I don't put things to the side.”

“Lord willing, I'll have longevity and have a lot of success.”

“I'm obsessed with this sport. I'm obsessed with getting better. I'm obsessed with winning. Losing's part of it. It challenges you to grow.”
