“I'm not a nightlife guy.”
“I've never been the guy that said 'Chuck Liddell is making this, I need this.'”

“The Carlos Newton, the first fight, that was pretty pivotal for me. Because if I would have lost that fight, I was going to retire. I had made my mind up before that.”
“GSP is not a great wrestler, but he transitions so well from striking to wrestling that he will be on Silva's legs before Anderson even knows what's going on.”
