“I work my butt off and have a positive attitude.”

“I'm kind of - I guess you could say - a momma's boy.”

“Mike Brown is a big guy; he's very durable. He's extremely strong and very well-rounded.”

“If someone gets into the Super Bowl, should they stop trying to get back into the Super Bowl? You gotta be kidding me.”

“I don't want to be the guy who, 'Oh, he's falling apart. He's a little punchy. Maybe it's time to stop.'”

“When I face an opponent in the cage, it doesn't really matter who they are. Whether they're my buddy, like Scott Jorgensen, or someone I don't like, like Dominick Cruz, I'm going in there and realizing this guy is trying to hurt me, and that's what I'm going to do to him. I try to keep it real basic.”

“I've always wanted to be the best.”

“I knew I was a world champion and a top contender at the highest level for over a decade, but I think I'll be remembered as somebody that was an ambassador for the sport, someone who helped build something bigger than myself, and also for the team I've been able to build.”

“I've kind of lived the same lifestyle I've had since I was a little kid. Basically, working out and hanging out with my friends and competing. I feel like a really lucky guy. I haven't had to do anything I don't want to do in life, and that's not the case with everyone.”

“I'd be down to go to 135. I've competed most of my life at that weight.”

“For me, fitness is a lifetime commitment; I don't remember ever being out of shape.”

“I love this sport. I love what I do. I love fighting and combat, and I love to train hard. But I want to be at my best.”

“If you want something, you gotta fight for it.”

“This is why I go into this sport: to fight the best guy in the world.”

“I didn't get into too many fights when I was younger. I think I got into, like, one fight when I was in high school, and that was because someone was being rude towards my mom, and that was it.”

“My parents named me after Uriah the Hittite, one of King David's mighty men in the Old Testament of the Bible, who was known for his fearlessness. I've thought about it, and there may be a connection between my name and my personality.”

“I think the California mentality is laid-back, and I definitely embody that.”

“I've had plenty of fights where the guy's virtually unknown and very tough. I mean a lot.”
