I don't have anything to do but get in the cage and show my work and wait for my time.
You can have your dream come true and be gay at the same time. This is not supposed to be a big deal. If the world thinks like that, one day it's gonna be a better place.
When I competed in jiu-jitsu and judo, I had losses. We never accept to lose, but we learn that it's not the end of the world. It's not.
You know, whatever people say, nothing's going to change it - what I think, what I'm capable of.
Honestly, I don't like trash talk, because we gonna fight anyways, right? We don't need to trash talk.
I feel like Nina came into my life to help me grow, and since I met her, everything in our careers has been amazing.
Ronda is an amazing athlete and has done so much for this sport, especially for the women.

I respect my opponents, I learned that from life. I used to think I would step in there, throw one punch and the other girl would go down and not get up again. Everytime I thought that, I lost.
After I get the belt, I will be well prepared to face anyone they put in front of me.
I thought about giving up the sport, but I have a lot of good people around me: my wife, Nina, my family. Everybody keeps helping me to be positive and moving forward.
I train jiu-jitsu and judo with the best guys there is, and the best guys for ground and pound.
I am the greatest of all-time.
I want to retire as champion, and I will make that happen.
I've been very fortunate throughout my career to fight for the best organizations in the world.
I'm the champ for a reason.
I think all of my opponents say that, I gas out or whatever. They have to say something about me.
I've been doing everything people like to see: knock people out, and submissions, and go in there to fight.
I proved it. I'm the best - I proved it.
I'm gonna knock people out.
