“A lot of Americans say the food in England sucks. I don't think the food in England sucks - the food is great - but I've got to say, the Americans have got the dining out experience nailed down.”

“It seems like every problem you can have with an eye, I had.”

“Omelettes, I'd say, are my secret weapon in terms of diet: I love them, they're nice and easy to make, they're very nutritious, and they're low in carbs.”

“I swear to God, I don't even know who Demi Lovato is. My son has a crush on her. Apparently, he was sat next to her when I knocked Luke Rockhold out, so Demi Lovato knows who I am, that's for sure.”

“I'm in a sport where, on their day, anyone can beat anyone else if they are at the top of their own game.”

“I haven't seen any of the Cung Le movies, but I have seen the Cung Le Q&A that he did in San Jose, and I've got to say that was pretty hard to watch. That was pretty cringeworthy. Listen: stick to kicking; sticking to kicking eggs and setting Guinness World Records, because entertaining a crowd certainly isn't your thing.”

“All I do is fight, consistently, the best guys in the world, and sure, I've lost a couple here and there, but I've certainly won the majority of my fights. There are those who pick and choose opponents and try to pad their record along the way, but I've never done that.”

“Big respect to Dan Henderson.”

“One of my proudest moments is definitely UFC 105 in Manchester when I stopped Denis Kang in the second round.”

“I've already been KO'd, embarrassed. Nothing is going to be worse than that, so what's to be scared of?”

“Patrick Cote, that would be one way traffic. I'd destroy the guy.”

“Maybe when I'm done fighting, I'll open a gym and manage fighters and train fighters.”

“As a fighter, you know when you connect with a really good shot because you feel the impact on your fist.”

“It seems, whenever there are two Brits fighting in the UFC, we always seem to put on a good fight.”

“I hate it when people call me a cage fighter. I'm a mixed martial artist. But people take one look at what we do, and they just start making assumptions.”

“Let's be honest: I don't want to walk out to boos. I always want to be cheered, like anyone, and I've been very lucky over the years to have a lot of support. Coming to America, I'm always the away guy, and so people thought their guy had to take me out, and they boo.”

“For me, 'The Ultimate Fighter' has been massive. I think it is a fantastic vehicle to find the new talent of tomorrow.”

“People give me advice all the time, and I don't take a blind bit of notice.”
