“Just staying healthy, that is true wealth and true happiness.”

“I often get people that come up to me with the UFC 151 poster with me and Dan on it and ask me to sign it.”

“It was really tough being in jail. It doesn't get much lower. You're in a filthy room. The food is terrible, and you're surrounded by people who have done all types of crazy crimes. You have nothing that belongs to you, not even your own underwear. It's just terrible.”

“You've got to give your past attention, but you've got to forgive yourself, acknowledge what you did wrong, and be a man, taking responsibility. You can't not fly anymore because of the things you've been through. You've got to believe in a brighter future, that better version of yourself.”

“Muhammad Ali was such an original - his antics, his character, his charisma, his strength, his individuality.”

“I'll see trash talk and people telling me why they're favorite fighter is going to beat me. It motivates me for sure.”

“My parents always kept us in the house. We weren't allowed to spend the night at other people's houses. We were sheltered kids.”

“I believe I have the attitude of a champion and a winner, and I'm not apologetic for it.”

“I've really tried everything in my power to get my life together.”

“Having that Christian base keeps me focused on what I have to do. It keeps me out of the clubs and in the gym.”

“As long as I'm taking care of my family and breaking records and continuing to excel and continuing to find new endorsements - everything's working.”

“I don't really deal in trash talk too much. But I show my confidence.”

“I absolutely hate when people mention Rashad Evans.”

“I would love to fight Brock Lesnar. He's a massive dude.”

“I put pressure on myself and feel pressure from my fans to not only win but to look great doing it.”

“It's not my business what other people think of me.”

“I feel like a lot of my fans hold high expectations of me when it comes to inside the Octagon - not so much outside of the Octagon - but I feel like most of my performances are pretty dominant, so I don't feel like I have the luxury to not perform in an extremely impressive fashion.”

“Conor McGregor has been a tremendous inspiration to me.”

“Life is supposed to be about love and good times, and so I've forgiven myself after paying the consequences of my bad decisions, and I'm ready to move forward and allow my life to be a light to others that it's never over, even for a person like me, who has lost a tremendous amount of respect among my peers, my fans, my friends and family.”

“I'm not saying Gustafsson isn't a champion. He's not the champion that I am. He's not a champion at all. I've won the belt seven times. He got tapped out by Phil Davis and lost to me fair and square. This guy gets so much praise. Having a close fight with me was the greatest thing he's ever done.”
