“I'm not going to fight Gilbert Burns, everybody knows that. We're brothers and that's not going to happen.”
“I respect all opponents because they all go through similar things. There's weight cut, every camp is hard and sometimes there are injuries we have to overcome, wins and losses. To me, every opponent is just like me.”
“I'm not much of comparing myself to other people. I have my own path.”
“I wasn't a super talented fighter, you know? I didn't start off as a talented guy. I just really enjoyed MMA.”
“I'm getting good wins, important victories that are taking me where I want to be.”
“I'm complete everywhere. I'm not bothered to fight on the ground or to stand.”
“I'm a guy that is always ready, I'm always active, I'm always keeping myself trained and healthy.”
“Every fight, every step I take, every decision I make in my life, is thinking about my son Bento.”

“Leon Edwards has defeated me, and he's a great fighter.”

“I want fans to love my fight.”
“I think I can make things tricky for Chiesa on the ground. depending on how he falls. If he underestimates me, I can surprise him. I don't think he will, though.”
“When I see someone like Woodley fighting a guy like me, if I were him and were to fight strategically, I would at least try takedowns to get me tired and slow my pace on the feet.”
“I usually take two weeks off after a fight and then start training again.”
“It's normal to face a guy below you after a loss and get back in the win column.”
“I had a great fight against Thompson, but I didn't get the win.”
