The title's the goal, not to beat Henry Cejudo. Because I already accomplished that goal.
People do that all the time - they switch teams, switch coaches, switch camps.
I remember this one time I had a dream about me writing a screenplay, and when I woke up, you know those dreams that feel so real, but I woke up and I was like, 'Oh my god I have this amazing screenplay I need to write down as soon as I wake up' and then I woke up and I was like what the heck was I dreaming of?
This sport is crazy, it moves along and we all have a short memory. No one realizes when fighters are out. They just remember their last fight and how they look now.
I'm actually a pretty quiet guy when it comes to fighting. I'm pretty serious. When I go out to fight people I'm not a big talker.
I can explode from both stances as a fighter. I can get up into my southpaw, give one good jab, sprawl, then get up into my orthodox, sprawl, go into southpaw and jab.
When you appreciate something and you're grateful for it - like going in to work everyday or just your partner or your job - you just do it that much better because you're lucky that you're doing it.
My goal is to be UFC champion, and my eyes are on that prize.
I love crying. I pick movies to go see with the intention of crying.
Life is crazy. It goes in directions that you could never guess.
When the UFC announced that 125 tournament, I remember thinking, 'Finally, this is my spot.'
Taking punches to the face at six in the morning, it's funny to hear that but, like, I'm grateful that I'm capable to do that.
My wife... so grateful for that. Nothing can be bad - going home and having someone making you feel like the best every day.
I think there's no one out there more deserving of a title shot than me.
Dominick Cruz is a great opponent, he has an amazing style.
When I say I wasn't a 'meant to be' guy, I've almost been jaded in the sport, where I don't believe in anything.
It makes you not believe in anything, when you do every single thing you can do right, and then there's still some way to mess it up.
You're always going to want to beat a person that beat you, just to prove you're better.
I want to fight as much as I can.
One person I lost to at 135 was the champion at the time, Dominick Cruz.
