“I want to fight for a credible organization and face high caliber opponents.”
“I have a purpose and a meaning in life, and I have to fulfill that. Being a champion is great, but more importantly than that, you get to be an inspiration and a role model to other people.”
“My number-one goal was just to be a good person, a good father, a good husband and then, after that, was to be an Olympic champ and eventually a UFC champ. And I've done everything I've ever kinda set my mind to.”
“I don't want people to think I'm a wrestler.”

“Henry Cejudo is going to become the greatest combat athlete of all time, being an Olympic champ and a two-division champ in the UFC.”
“I'm ready for anybody. If it's John Dodson, if it's Demetrious Johnson, if it's Joseph Benavidez, I'm ready for whichever one, whoever wants a piece of me.”
“At 125, there's nobody in the world that can match my strength.”
“Everything that I did to win a gold medal, I'm practically transferring it over to mixed martial arts.”
“I don't like getting hit.”
“I would meet Tim Elliott at 135. At heavyweight if he wanted.”
“If people think or believe that the flyweight division is boring, man, you're out of your mind.”
“It's part of the sport, getting hit.”
“I'm a big fan of Jon Jones.”
“The medal just was an object, just a medal, and that's it. What really meant something was the blood, the sweat, the tears that went into getting that medal. I'll always have the memories of that with me.”
