People get all caught up thinking they have to train a certain way or take a certain approach to things, but there's so much more to this than fitting into what other people think you are supposed to do. You have to have fun and enjoy what you are doing; otherwise, what is it all worth?
I remember kickboxing and traveling the world when I was young. I would go to Japan or Africa, and I would go for the experience. As soon as I got off the plane, we'd go have a good time, party. Fighting was just the outlet of what I was doing there.
Colorado's home for me.
I thought that Yoel Romero and Tim Means got the only two tainted bottles of protein in the world. I thought it was crazy. You never know with these companies; you've got to be careful.
The UFC has been nothing but great to me. I can't complain; they give me what I want.
I own everything. I own my RV, my house, my trucks, my boat. Everything is paid for.
The opponent never matters to me. That's something I've always said.
I enjoy fighting. It's one of my favorite things to do in the world, so I'm just enjoying every minute of it.
I'm not trying to be anything other than the way I was born and raised.
To be honest I quit taking training and fighting so seriously and went back to living my life and having fun. I try to teach that to all the guys who come out here to train and live with me.
When I fought Benson Henderson for the first time, or Jamie Varner, it was always like, 'Oh man... I'm in here fighting these guys. Do I really belong here?' That's all changed now.
They aren't going to take my guns. I have 44 guns, and they aren't going to take my guns.
I want to be a professional wakeboarder.
They need to enforce how and who to give guns to. But there are Americans like me who are responsible, and they shouldn't take that away. If they outlaw guns, they won't take mine.
You see all the movies where people say, 'Don't fight out of anger'? They say that for a reason.
Wrestling is something I feel really confident in now.
Jose Aldo, he's a stud, and I would be honored to be in there to throw down with him.
Milk Duds and Hot Tamales are what I love.
Who am I to say CM Punk is a joke?
I am never more or less motivated for a fight - it's always the same.
