“One of the things in marriage is you have to understand what appreciation is about, and that'll keep me for longevity. That's why my fans love me, because I appreciate them. Because with no fans, there would be no sport, no fighting for me, no UFC, no Bellator, no Rizin; there'd be nothing without the fans.”

“I just like to be entertaining.”

“I think I'd do pretty well with Fedor.”

“You'd prefer to fight somebody that you really would rather derail their whole career.”

“When I grappled, I never even trained for a grappling match.”

“I'm not surprised to be the coach on 'The Ultimate Fighter.'”

“You just got to remember that mine and Dana White's relationship is like we're a husband and wife. I do the man's stuff around the house. I do the fighting, all the man's stuff, and he does all the woman stuff - all the yapping.”

“The one thing about working with Scott Coker - I've never heard a bad thing about Scott Coker. And that means a lot, especially in our sport.”

“TV makes you look taller and fatter.”

“That was the best part of the Pride guys - they'd go out and entertain. They'd either get knocked out or knock somebody out; they were always trying to finish the fight.”

“What brought me to Bellator was Scott Coker, Viacom, and one of my good friends, Mike Kogan.”

“My goal is to always fight the best in the world and put on a show for the fans.”

“MMA has a lot of those things that you're not allowed to talk about; like, they're completely off-limits. So you have to make a joke out of it.”

“I think what it is, is that fighters have become business people. I actually love what I'm doing. When you're a business person, sometimes you think of it as, 'Ah, it's work.' I love what I do, but then, on the other end, some guys do this as a living.”

“I really enjoyed playing rugby. I loved the camaraderie with the other athletes. It was kind of like fighting. Team fighting.”

“I always want to fight for the belt. I don't really care.”

“I think I'd probably shine really well in a team sport, but as everybody knows, I don't handle politics very well. A lot of team sports has a lot of politics. Individual sports, it's all about me.”

“I think WWE is a great.”

“The thing is that anybody in the heavyweight division can be champion any day just because of one punch.”

“I don't care if I win or lose; I know I'm going to give 110%, and I'm going to hold my head high at the end of the day.”
