“I've never pulled out of a fight. I've never missed weight.”

“The way I feel, I'm the best in the world.”

“Destiny doesn't make mistakes.”

“I feel like I can submit Khabib, but feel like I'm going to stop him. I don't know how it's going to happen, but I'm either going to knock him out or I'm going to submit him. I'm going to finish Khabib Nurmagomedov.”

“I've always fought the best guys.”

“I probably should have been fighting at 155 for a long time, but I was so close to the top at 145.”

“Norman Parke needs to stay off of Twitter before he gets himself in a fight he can't win.”

“I don't talk bad about people who I roll with.”

“My dream is to be the best fighter at 155 pounds in the world.”

“I need to celebrate life because I'm in a good spot, I work hard, and I am happy with who I am and happy with what I do for a living, and sometimes I just focus and overwhelm myself so much with the fights and getting better, that I just need to slow it down and enjoy life and enjoy training.”

“Years and years ago, like in 2006, my wife, I didn't have a car, she would drive me to weigh-ins, we would sleep in broken-down motels and I would fight the next day. Just me and her.”

“Just because I haven't fought wrestlers doesn't mean I'm not wrestling in every camp.”

“I'm the kind of guy that grows, and that's what I do everyday in the gym. Work on new stuff and stay relevant.”

“Fighting comes down to who you are as a person. With B.J. Penn, he has no problems, not a hard upbringing and came up with money or whatever and he's just a fighter, he enjoys the fight and he refined his skills so I don't think it necessarily has to be a rough upbringing for guys to be great fighters.”

“Normal pain is no problem, that just comes with the job.”

“Every fight, every camp I learn about myself and I get better. But every fight I get better.”

“Those deep, dog fights - I love that. That's why I fight.”

“Yeah I do think featherweight is done for me. It sucks because I worked hard and fought a lot of hard fights and did a lot of things right to move up the rankings and I have to abandon all that moving to 155 starting fresh.”
