Jared Cannonier

“My style, I come out there and put on exciting performance.”

“I'm very interested to see how it goes. I'm very interested to see the reactions Izzy employs against Costa's assault. I'm interested to see how Costa implements his assault. Because he's going to go in there and try to work Izzy over.”

“I'm always focused on getting better. I'm not focusing on being the best.”

“I don't have sponsors or anything like that.”

“I want to adhere to the present. And whatever happens in the future, I want to be prepared for it.”

“I make it a point to not let anything that I don't want to bother me, it's not going to bother me.”

“The fact that it is a prestigious name, a prestigious person in Anderson, I don't really focus on how much better it's gonna feel. I won, I'm going to my family with two checks. That's the main thing.”

“I'm not here to play MMA or spar with my opponents. I'm here to finish my opponents.”

“I don't have to force myself to not be excited or to think about the title. It's small to me, to be honest. That's just my perspective.”

“The only thing that concerns me is getting better.”

“If I'm in a bad situation, I know how to stay calm and how work my way out. On top of that, I have good cardio and I'm a fairly descent athlete as well.”

“Fighting is my only focus.”

“I'm not a real party animal.”

“I don't care how good a striker you are. I mean, I've gone up against kickboxers and stuff like that. And when I figure you out, you know, I'm going to take ownership of you.”

“Israel has garnered a lot of clout. Rightfully so. The man has been putting in work. He has been doing his thing and looked good doing it.”

“It's always glorious to go five rounds with a guy like Kelvin at that level.”

“I'm not here to say the UFC isn't paying me. Because I'm getting paid pretty good from the UFC.”

“I'm not gonna sit here and say that I'm the best. But I will say that I am continuing to get better.”

“A lot of fighters, it's just a mindset they get into, they do something good and they pat themselves on the back for the rest of their career until things go wrong for them. I'm not doing that.”

“I'm a realist. I'm not living in a fantasy. I know what's what.”
