The more you seek the uncomfortable, the more you will become comfortable.
You might win some, you might lose some. But you go in, you challenge yourself, you become a better man, a better individual, a better fighter.
I enjoy competition. I enjoy challenges. If a challenge is in front of me and it appeals to me, I will go ahead and conquer it.
When I say something's going to happen, it's going to happen.
Life is about growing and improving and getting better.
I don't feel pressure in a negative way. I like pressure. I feel excitement and calm at the same time. No pressure, no diamonds. I want pressure: pressure creates drama, creates emotion.
I don't look at a man who's expert in one area as a specialist. I look at him as a rookie in ten other areas.
My success isn't a result of arrogance - it's a result of belief.
I wish everyone well, but you need to focus on yourself. You need to stop putting your hand out. Everyone wants hand outs. Everyone wants things for free. You've got to put in the work. You've got to grind. You've got go through the struggle, and you've got to get it.
I'm just looking to learn, grow, stay focused, and become a better fighter and a better athlete.
I'm just trying to be myself. I'm not trying to be anyone else.
I'm not going to get somewhere and say, 'OK, I'm done.' Success is never final; I'll just keep on going. The same way as failure never being fatal. Just keep going. I'm going to the stars and then past them.
My preparation is about precision. It is a science.
I'm interested in movement, and I'm interested in money, and I'm interested in the movement of money.
I am fearless.
Why go through life if you're not going to challenge yourself?
If you deserve it, go get it.
My dream is to be World Lightweight Champion in the UFC. Have more money than I know what to do with. And have a great life for my kids, grandkids, and everyone in my family.
To do anything to a high level, it has to be total obsession.
Ritual is another word for fear, manifested in a different way.
