“Whenever I talk about Christ out loud, or I tweet a verse or say something in reference about Christ, a lot of people lash out and aren't very excited to hear about my love for Christ.”
“I love Twitter in particular because it allows me to grow and see how people feel about the decisions I make. My followers, they're always pretty honest with me. I love the honesty I get. I also find motivation in it.”
“One day when I was bored, I just went down to a powerlifting gym, Via Strength Systems in Albuquerque. I knew I needed to expend my energy somehow. I started working out with them four days a week. I became obsessed with lifting and being fit.”
“When I fight someone who's not a good person, I want to beat him.”
“Fighting was something inside of me that I didn't realize was there.”
“I'm definitely very excited to see Cormier fight Brock Lesnar. I think Daniel Cormier wins the fight. He's just too fast. I feel like, when I fought him, he was quicker than me with certain combinations. I can only imagine he's going to be a lot quicker than Brock Lesnar.”
“I genuinely wanted to be an inspiration to other people and inspire people and be a role model.”
“I'm here to fight; I'm not here to protect whether you think I'm a good person or not. I've given up on that.”
“I'll fight anywhere, man.”
“I don't believe a champion is the biggest, baddest, meanest dude in the world. I think the champion is like a warrior; it's like the head knight or lead samurai: humble men of integrity, respect, and honor that treat people kindly.”
“I'm a champion, and I believe that if you're a champion, you can't be afraid to go out there and test yourself against the greatest challenges.”
“Growing up, I was poor. In college, I was poor. I never had anything.”
“I've convinced myself I'm something special. When you do that, man, you're dangerous, especially when you have the athleticism and work ethic to back it up.”
“I am an athlete in every sense of the word. Athlete, martial artist.”
“If you do something bad, it doesn't mean you're a bad person. It means you had bad judgment.”
“The moment I let fear slip in is the moment that the fights are gonna start getting closer and closer.”
“The biggest challenge is learning how to psych yourself up into believing in yourself as you walk into the Octagon.”
“Daniel Cormier has been a model champion. He will be a champion for the rest of his life.”
“Fighting is not what I do - it's who I am. It's what I was meant to do, what I was meant to be. I knew that right after my first MMA practice.”
“I don't enjoy hitting people; I enjoy outsmarting them.”
