“I think, in my mind, just like a lot of people, you have to feel like you're the best, like, you're number one.”

“I think you can learn from any situation.”

“I've cut weight over 20 times. I'm used to it.”

“It's so hard to switch careers.”

“After leaving MMA, I fell into a really big hole. I fell into a deep depression.”

“At the end of the day, I know me better than anyone.”

“The realm of a fight's existence is to step outside of your comfort zone for a split second - to be so ridiculously uncomfortable that it's frightening and scary - and only a few people have accomplished that. I'm one of those trying to accept that.”

“I think I had a mini-seizure and at the same time a slight heart attack.”

“A buddy of mine made a comment, 'are you afraid to be in the ring?' It's a little nerve-racking to be in there, but I'm not afraid to be in there. I'm more afraid to what I might do to my opponent.”

“The first thing you have to have is belief.”

“I make jokes all the time. I have a different type of sense of humor.”

“If I live in the past, I'm gonna get depressed. If I go too far in the future, it brings anxiety.”

“When you have a dream, you're thinking about it, but when you're actually living it out, it's surreal.”

“The best you can do about someone hating on you, is just accept it. Take that as a positive thing, because if they're talking about you behind your back, it means you're definitely ahead of them, and in front of him, and it definitely means you're doing something right, which gives them enough time to think about you.”

“I know people are going to say 'Oh man, this guy is good, he could be the next whatever.' I don't want to compare myself to anyone else. I'm me.”

“I'm just going to play the politic card and just whoever the UFC needs me to beat, or whoever the UFC thinks can beat me and get to the top.”

“As an athlete, you sometimes put unnecessary pressure on yourself.”

“I really love Jean-Claude Van Damme. He's definitely one of the guys if not the guy to inspire me to kick because I'm a kicker.”

“I throw some crazy stuff.”

“I don't back up with boxing gloves on. I take a couple shots, but I'll come at you.”
