“A lot of people cry and complain and put their hand out and beg. It never goes well.”
“A good feeling for me is when you train, and then you put on fresh clothes. New clothes after a training session - you have this rush of endorphins from exercise that everybody gets, and then you get that nice feeling of fresh clothes. It's a double whammy.”
“I'm not going to get somewhere and say, 'OK, I'm done.' Success is never final; I'll just keep on going. The same way as failure never being fatal. Just keep going. I'm going to the stars and then past them.”
“I break orbital bones.”
“The only time my records are going to be broken is by my own spawn. I'm going be training that child out the womb.”
“I take inspiration from everyone and everything. I'm inspired by current champions, former champions, true competitors, people dedicated to their dream, hard workers, dreamers, believers, achievers.”
“Many people don't understand ring control. They think they do until they're against someone who really understands how to set traps, how to create holes in the octagon that they fall into.”
“Competition gives me energy. It keeps me focused.”
“I'm committed to the fight game.”
“When I say something's going to happen, it's going to happen.”
“Clean fighting solves everything. It ends all bad blood and any ill feelings people have. That's my thoughts.”
“I don't feel pressure in a negative way. I like pressure. I feel excitement and calm at the same time. No pressure, no diamonds. I want pressure: pressure creates drama, creates emotion.”
“I always teach myself calm and visualization stuff.”
“I'm focusing on me. I'm focusing on my family's security, my family's financial security, so that's all I can do.”
“To do anything to a high level, it has to be total obsession.”
“When I prepare, I am not messing around. I find the right places, the right people, and the right environment. Iceland is one of those places.”
“I have a deep, deep belief that if I tell you I'm going to crack you with a clean shot to the chin inside one minute of the first round and you will be unconscious, well, then that's what will happen.”
“I've read a lot of books on the laws of attraction, and in my home, I have a big book on Muhammad Ali, which I've read because he is, like, a hero of mine, but other than that, no, I'm not a big reader.”
“From the moment I open my eyes, I'm trying to free my body. I'm trying to get looser, more flexible, to gain control. Movement is medicine to me.”
“People think I'm a celebrity. I'm not a celebrity.”
