Stipe Miocic

“During a night shift, I'll work out twice during the day. If I have to work during the day, I usually have guys at the station who will work out with me. Then at night, I'll go train.”

“At the end of the day, it's a fight, and anything can happen.”

“I make no excuses. Stefan Struve was the man that night. He earned his win fair and square.”

“Listen man, Andrei Arlovski is a tough guy, but he hasn't fought the caliber of opponents I've been fighting.”

“All you can do is the same as any other fight: whoever they put in front of you, you go in there and try to get the W.”

“I think everyone has knockout power. I mean, it's the heavyweight division.”

“I had to work hard to keep up with my mom. That's where I learned it from. She's a freak.”

“Listen, I'm the champ, and I'm not going to pick and choose who I fight.”

“I never thought I would get so much support, and it means the world to me. Nothing could ever get better than that.”

“The sport wouldn't be what it is without the fans, and at UFC 189, watching the Irish fans screaming 'Ole Ole Ole' was pretty amazing.”

“Honestly, I don't talk; I just like to fight. I'm not a good talker.”

“Listen, anyone in the heavyweight division in the top ten, there is no easy fight. I don't care what you say.”

“When you train as hard as we do, bad things happen sometimes. It's just part of the sport.”

“I think any fight you get into, you've got to shine and show that you deserve to be up there.”

“Everyone has 4 ounce gloves on, and they're big boys, and they can throw hard.”

“I like winning, so every time I win, it's a better feeling every time.”

“Cro Cop is one of the best in the world and such a great guy. It was awesome to train with him. There's nothing better than working with him, and it was a great experience.”

“Music-wise, I like anything with a beat to it. With walkout songs, I pick something to keep me going and to rile me up.”

“I just want to fight. That's all I want.”

“I do miss the Avalanche. That's the my favorite car of all time, but that Dodge Ram Rebel has overtaken the Avalanche; I just love that truck. It's got good vents in the hood; there's no running boards underneath, so I can go Baja-ing if I want to, off-roading.”
