I want to make the UFC money.
The UFC does not owe me a thing. Nothing. I am in debt to them.
Lance Armstrong did a number of things, and he gave himself cancer.
The kind of wrestler that's going to do well in a combat style event like MMA is one that can explode through - doesn't need to spend time on the mat - hit his opponent, get him off his feet, and get on top quickly.
Wrestlers tend to do good in MMA because they tend to be just some tough guys. It's not a karate situation where they grew up their whole life punching the air; in a wrestling situation, you grab a hold of another human being every day.
One element of wrestling that I know what I grew up with we put a lot of emphasis towards was the takedown. But, you could win an Olympic championship and never score a takedown, and I don't know if MMA fans are even aware of that.
Fighting is an expression. It's a form of speech, and that's why they call it martial arts. It's an art.
The greatest form of expression - or, at least, the most common that we have as human beings, what separates us from the animals - is speaking: the ability to communicate.
Every time you win, you get another fight. Every time you get a fight, you get promotion, marketing, and media. Those things are what makes stars.
The only thing more embellished than Floyd Mayweather's pay-per-view buys is Floyd Mayweather's net worth. But his spending habits are real.
Very normal trajectory of a fighter's career - you start out fighting at the YMCA. You move on to the dog park. You get into a coliseum. On your way out, you go back to the YMCA, and then you finish up at the dog park.
Werdum's open to being knocked out in any fight because he's so reckless, but that's also what makes him so damn dynamic.
Georges St-Pierre is the greatest fighter to have ever done it.
I've competitively boxed. It's definitely Plan B for me, but I know how to box.
As a fighter, that's not something that ever factors in, whether you go first or last or you walk out first or you walk out second. It's not something that ever factors in or you feel slighted about. I don't think that anybody would care. The job is the same.
All our careers end the same: Face down and embarrassed.
Fans don't even know what they want at times.
Brock Lesnar made a career out of refusing to do media and not being accessible.
I like Bryan Caraway a lot; I used to train with him. I consider him a friend.
I've been in a position where I've been barely doing any damage, and the ref stopped it. It's just sport.
