“For the most part, since the time I was in EliteXC fighting, maybe there were one or two fights here and there that they had me to win, but for the most part I've been an underdog. I'm not a kickboxer so I'm going to lose to a kickboxer. I'm not a wrestler, my wrestling sucks, so I'm going to lose to a wrestler.”

“They pay me way too much money but not enough as far as I'm concerned.”

“I just try to be as healthy as I can, pretty much.”

“I held off on having kids and getting married so I could fight. I gave my life to this.”

“It's a really complicated road if you're an MMA fighter.”

“I'm a pay-per-view without a title.”

“I'm scared of any fighter I've ever fought because they are some dangerous people to be dealing with.”

“I was never, like, picking on people or anything like that. I was more the other way around. I was a little insecure, I was broke.”

“I love athletics and martial-arts and competition because it gets me right and puts me in the right place.”

“I just come to fight. Whatever happens out there happens.”

“Once I turned pro, I was like okay, this is not fun and games now.”

“I want to go against the best fighters. That's why I'm always calling out Georges St-Pierre.”

“I'm not going backwards in this sport ever, especially in pay. Why would I?”

“The UFC wants me to fight. The people want me to fight. I don't want me to fight.”

“Fighting is not something that I enjoy doing. It's something that I do that I feel that I have to do.”

“Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some, sometimes you can't be at 100 percent.”

“I am a fighter. It's what I am.”

“If anybody wants to fight me they know where to find me. I'm not a hard guy to find. Come get some.”

“Belts aren't important. It's the fights that are important. Important to the fans, important to the show.”

“Don't tell me I'm crazy. I'm out here acting natural.”
