“I always fought the best. My record shows that.”

“I talked about a rematch with Velasquez in respect. He was a great champion and did a lot for the sport, so I was being respectful.”

“I've done a lot for the sport. Those wins over Fedor, 'Minotauro' and Velasquez will forever be in the history of the sport.”

“I always look at the bright side.”

“My training is very important.”
